Collect a list of integers in the ID column of a collection

Hello,

I'm struggling a bit to store a list of integer in the "ID" column of a collection.

I have a flow that returns a list of integers as a string : "1,2,3".

I want to store those integers in a collection which as one column and I want this column to be named "ID".

This formula gives me the expected result :

ClearCollect(test;[1;2;3])

But the column name is then "Value".

I want the same result, but with a unique column named "ID".

I know it is pretty simple but I can't find the correct way to do it.

Thank you 🙂

Hey @Jedediah ,

try this:

ClearCollect(test;{ID:1};{ID:2};{ID:3})

Here's the way to do it directly with the string of integers:
Clear(test);; ForAll(Split(StringFormFLOW;",");Collect(text;{ID:ThisRecord.Value}))

Hi @Jedediah

If you've already built your collection, another option is to rename Value to ID like so:

ClearCollect(test; RenameColumns([1;2;3];Value; ID)) )

Hey @DBO_DV and @timl !

Thank you for helping me to figure this thing out.

Here is the working code :
UpdateContext({locSplittedItems:'myFlow'.Run(First(myCollection).ID).items});; Clear(myCollection);; ForAll(Split(locSplittedItems;",");Collect(myCollection;{ID:Value(ThisRecord.Value)}))
