I'm not sure if this is a power automate issue or a power app one, you all let me know.

I need some help understanding why some of my data is going missing. I have an app that runs a Parent-Child flow on startup. The flows work fine and are intended to populate a gallery with the end users submitted requests. The parent only takes the user name and passes it to the child, then the child flow accesses an HR library to get that user’s file properties, runs a select to narrow the response to the necessary elements, and then responds to the parent with the select output as a string. The OnStart call then puts the response in a variable, and I can confirm that all the data that should be there is all there.

In order to have the data as a data source for a gallery, I then need to put the data into a collection. To achieve this, I parse the response, typecast each returned value, and put the values in a Table. As there will always be more than one file returned, this is done in a ForAll block. Then I put the Table in a collection. Now when I look at the content of the Collection, some of the data is missing. For example, DocType shows no data in the collection. DocType is a choice column, and there are three types of documents that may be selected. This is critical because the gallery needs to filter on DocType = “Request”. Data from other choice type columns is included in the flow response and ends up being properly reflected in the Collection. What could be causing some data to be dropped between the variable and the collection?
