hi all

 

I would like to confirm whether sharepoint Lookup, People, and Choice columns cannot be written to by Flow. When I use the create item action, the error happened as below.

 

The list item could not be inserted or updated because invalid lookup values were found for the following field(s) in the list: [StudyName2].

clientRequestId: b6410f24-89e5-4d97-97bc-02f0cab14eb4

serviceRequestId: b6410f24-89e5-4d97-97bc-02f0cab14eb4

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    We can configure these types of fields through Flow.

    All three fields can be selected through the drop-down list to select the corresponding field value.

    Or you could get the field value first by other actions, then configure the field.

     

    You can directly fill in Choice value when configuring the Choice field. You can directly fill in the corresponding user's email address when configuring the Person field.

    As for the Lookup field, it is recommended that you select the corresponding lookup value directly from the drop-down list.
