Foreach - loop through a list and get approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello, I'm stuck with an error in my first flow I made to manage some approvals.

All start with a sharepoint list, I need to loop this list and ask for approval only records with a certain value in a choice-type field.

I get an error just after getElements block and in the next conditional statement.

Thank you!

    The problem is in the inner Apply to Each loop.  Can you show us a run from that with the error?  That's where the error is coming from.  What you are showing is just the rollup of that inner error.

    Hi, where I could get the detailed error log ?

     

    Could it be this one?

    No, please expand and take a screenshot of the following step in your original run.  Showing the definition would also be helpful.

    I'll do what you asked me, but before this is there a way to detach the second loop-trough from the inner I've created for mistake?

    Do I have to rewrite the entire blocks below the second? 

    Thank you

    If the inner loop isn't actually dependent on the outer loop values then you should be able to cut and paste it outside the loop.

    Hello, I tried again, I'm struggling with this error, transalated it said flow is expeting a List whilst I'm passing an Object.

    How do I achieve this?

    I'm trying to get attachments from a SharePoint list and then compose an approval for each one.

    Thank you

     

    ExpressionEvaluationFailed. L'esecuzione dell'azione 'Applica_a_ogni_3' del modello non è riuscita. Il risultato della valutazione dell'espressione 'foreach' '@outputs('Ottieni_elementi')?['body']' è del tipo 'Object'. Il risultato deve essere una matrice valida.

    I'm not sure what the translation would be, but here's the basic process for creating approvals for each attachment in a list item.
