Added Power Automate object as Boolean (while it returns a table)

(0) ShareShare

Hi!

 

In a PowerApp I'm trying to populate collection with the output of the flow below:

But in the app it sees the output as a boolean:

This app was imported to this tennant from another tennant.

 

When I created a new app in the same solution and do the same thing, it is seen as table, which is correct.

I've already tried removing the Flow object and the command button, and then add them both again, but it keeps stating the flow returns a boolean. 

 

Can anyone give me tips on how to convince the app that the flow is really returning a table?

    You will also need to configure the response from your flow by using the Respond to a Power App block at the end or you'll only get a true/false response. I also recommend using the PowerApps V2 trigger for better configurability.

    Unfortunately, the flow will not return a table. The workaround is to return a string that you can parse within your app. There are several good YouTube videos and posts on the community describing how to do this.

    There is also one other method, described in this blog:

    Hey BCLS776,

     

    Unfortunately, the flow will not return a table.

     

    See my third screenshot. The same flow does return a table value in a new app, only not in the existing app. So I'd rather avoid using arrays or parsing strings when easy and more logical solution seems to be available.
