Updating/Renaming choices of a SP list column and the selected choices of the list items

Posted on by julienvdc 203
Hey,
 
As you know, when you're renaming choices of a column of a SP List, it will not retroactively update the choices of existing items. In my case 
 
I am trying to build a flow that would update my items with the new name for the choices. In my case it is a multiple choice possibility and not all choices have been renamed.
 
Any idea/tips on how my flow should be looking like?
 
Cheers!

    You could use a Get Items with a Filter Query to check if the field contains this old value. After that you can loop through the results and use a Select action to retrieve the multiple choice field values in the From. In the Map you can combine the replace function with the item function. After that you can use the outputs in an update item action.

    Below is an example
     
    The list with the old values (Flow)
     
     
    The flow setup, which uses the replace function in the select action
    replace(item()['Value'], 'Flow', 'Power Automate')
     
     
     
    The test result
