How to Copy a Multiple Value Lookup Column to Another SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU07080319-4
When I use cloud workflow to copy a multiple value lookup column to another SharePoint list,  the workflow is failed and pop up the following message:
"Item could not be created. Check if input is valid. clientRequestId: 0e11d58f-2d59-49f3-bee0-7bf0e62f57f9
serviceRequestId: 17852ea2-908d-0000-325c-4e59c7eb7041"
 
My method is
1.Read the multiple value of lookup column in source list to an array
2.Write the array to the lookup column of destination list
 
I am appreciate if you can give some advice or feedback on this topic.

    Can you verify that I understand your question please.  You have a column in a list that is a lookup that allows multiple selections.  You have another list that uses the same lookup and also allows multiple selections.  You want to copy data from the first list to the second.  Am I correct?
     
    Here is a simple example.  I am using two append to variable actions whereas you'll append to the variable in a loop.
     You need to use the ID of the lookup item from the lookup list.
    They array needs to be formatted as shown below.
     
    If you are still having issues, please post a screen shot of your Flow.
     
    If this solves your problem, please mark this as the answer.
