Combine values with common ID into single value

I have the following array:

[

{

"ID": "27",

"Value": "ICT|f7df09b2-e931-4a27-a2cc-975440062d12"

{

"ID": "27",

"Value": "ICT|f7df09b2-e931-4a27-a2cc-975440062d12;Quality and Safety|90ceaeb1-7dfb-466c-a292-532e9725a6eb"

}

]

I need to convert this array into a single object that I can append to another array, in the form of:

{

"ID": "27",

"Value": "ICT|f7df09b2-e931-4a27-a2cc-975440062d12;ICT|f7df09b2-e931-4a27-a2cc-975440062d12;Quality and Safety|90ceaeb1-7dfb-466c-a292-532e9725a6eb"

}

It doesn't matter that this contains a duplicate as Power Automate resolves this in a later step, but I do need to get all the options in a single value.

So far I've been mucking around with union/select/replace to try to achieve it but I'm out of my depth so would appreciate some guidance!

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Combine values with common ID into single value

This may work for you (if I understand correctly):

The code on the left side of the filter array is:

length(split(item()['Value'], '|'))

All that is happening is any entry within the array that does not contain 3 values delimited by a pipe symbol in the value property is removed. Which leaves you with one entry in the array:

[ { "ID": "27", "Value": "ICT|f7df09b2-e931-4a27-a2cc-975440062d12;Quality and Safety|90ceaeb1-7dfb-466c-a292-532e9725a6eb" } ]

The the final compose just gets the first entry in the array which is your object.
