Flow to update SharePoint List Comments into a list field.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Power Automate Community,

 

I am helping an user to build a sharepoint list and the comments panel is a great feature to communicate with internal users on status of each request.  The only issue with it is that its not reportable so we want to bring such comments into a string Field that was added to the list.

 

The flow I would like to work on is the following: 

 

1- When an item is modified

2- Send an HTTP request to Sharepoint

3- Parse the JSON response

4- Concatenate all TEXT values from the JSON response

5- Update the item.

 

I was able to complete steps 1-3 but am having issues get step 4 to work. 

I tried creating a variable and I see all the comments in the variable but can't get them together in the update item step. 

 

ps1: An alternative is to only bring back the last comment however my current flow is always using the first comment instead.

ps2: I am not a developer, just an savvy user.

    See the following post where all the comments for a list item are collected in to one variable and then emailed:
