How to get the name from a choice field in a Dataverse record instead of the value?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 42

I'm using 'Get a row by ID' to populate an email action with information from a Dataverse record. One of the fields happens to be a choice field, but in the body of my email I'm getting the value of the choice (eg. 717750001) instead of the name.

 

I feel like I've done this in the past, but that would've been under the Microsoft Dataverse (legacy) triggers/actions so I'm not sure if there is something I need to be doing differently now?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi @ac1drain 

     

    Try the below using the expression

     

    outputs('Get_a_row_by_ID')?['body/ajb_type@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']

     

    Here above 'Get_a_row_by_ID' is my previous step action name and ajb_type is my option set field.
