'Apply to each' inside an 'Apply to each'

Posted on by flake

Hi,

I'm trying to build a flow to copy tasks from the task planner to an excel table (with name of the task, the start date, due date and the assigned users) and get an error saying:

"The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each_3' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@items('Apply_to_each')' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array."

The 'Apply_to_each' refers to each task, the 'Apply_to_each_3' refers to the assigned users (as there can be more than one). Does anyone has an idea how to either build the flow different to avoid an 'Apply to each' inside an 'Apply to each' or how to solve the conversion issue with the array?

Hi @flake,

Just to double check. Are you using the List Tasks action from the Planner connector?

If so, you could use value assignments field (collection) in the second apply to each loop to loop through the assigned users.

You should be able to select that field as dynamic content. As an expression that would be:

items('Apply_to_each')?['_assignments']
