Trying and failing to get variable value from a field in Canvas form.

Posted on by koontz 216

Hi all, I am trying to parse a JSON object and get variable values in my PowerFlow, and I'm running into an issue where my Schema Validation is failing. The error is "Invalid type. Expected Object but got Array." Why is this expecting an Object? Apparently, this is a new issue, so if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!

The error message:

My schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "content": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "schema": {
      "type": "object"
    }
  }
}

    Hey @koontz 

    Before this make a compose. Add the values you are getting from power apps there. Run it. Then copy whatever you are getting from that compose in run history. 

    Go back to the flow, edit it, paste the same thing you copied to generate from sample. 

     

    Run the flow again it should work now.

     

    If not, post the ss of flow in edit mode. Or whatever data you are getting from power apps.
