Updating multiple Planner Tasks

I want a Flow to:

  1. Lists rows in an Excel Table
  2. Create Tasks based on data from said rows
  3. Push Task Ids back to the Excel Table
  4. Update the Task Ids contained in the Excel Table with Checklist Items (also defined in the same Excel Table)

#s 1-3 are working fine.

 

#4 is the problem.

 

The current approach is to

  1. set variables and 'ListExcelRows' at the root of the flow, then
  2. in an 'Apply to each' loop ('Create Tasks' > 'Append Array' with Task Ids > 'Update an Excel Table row' with Task Ids), then
  3. in 'Apply to each 1' loop ('Update task details').

Despite a number of different approaches, parent/child relationships can be a barrier, or multiple tasks get created because of the creating Checklist Items, or Task Ids cannot be accessed from Excel because a [0] based Array is expected and Task Ids are definitely not integers.

 

If anyone has a reliable and repeatable solution to accomplish the ultimate objective of creating tasks and then updating those tasks, I'd welcome the help.
