Hey all,

I've been working on an Onboarding app for my workplace for a while (it's my first project in PowerApps, so I'm learning the app as I'm working) and been trying to understand the Microsoft To-Do (Business) connector and its actions.
To sum up my experience, it is not an easy job (especially when half of the connector's official documentation has been deprecated and MS Copilot is unable to retrieve correct answers).
So, I decided of posting a way I found to retrieve the values of a specific To-Do list and place them in a collection.

My syntax for retrieving the values of a specific To-Do list using the Microsoft To-Do (Business) connector and placing them into a collection is:

Set(varName, First(Filter('MicrosoftTo-Do(Business)'.GetAllTodoListsV2(), displayName = "Name of the To-Do List")));
ClearCollect(colName,'MicrosoftTo-Do(Business)'.ListToDosByFolderV2(varName.id));

Basically, what you do is set a variable (in this case it's called varName) and in the displayName you place the actual name of the list as it is shown in your Outlook/MS To-Do apps.

Then, you either use a Collect or ClearCollect (what ever works for you, i used ClearCollect) and replace the colName with a name of your choosing and the varName to what you selected.
This will take all the values with the specific FolderId of the specific To-Do list and place them into a collection.

I hope this will help any of you who got stuck like I did and needs a helping hand.
