Getting a value from an outer for-each loop

Posted on by mkortink

Hi. I am looping through a SharePoint list and each item has a 'RequestId' and can have attachments.

For each item with attachments, I loop through the attachments.

For each attachment, I want to create a file called 'RequestId_DisplayName' where 'DisplayName' is the file name, it is available, no problem.

The problem is I cannot figure out how to get the 'RequestId' from the outer loop. I have spent hours on this!!!

Can someone please tell me what to put in the highlighted field that contains the single 'RequestId' from the outer for-each which is looping through the SharePoint list, filtering for items with attachments, then storing each attachment.

Replying to my own post, I have just noticed that if I delete the [Filter Array] step, that the 'RequestId' becomes available to me where I need it. So it appears [Filter Array] does more than just filter out the items in an array, it somehow changes the structure as well.

Hi @mkortink ,

Filter array won't change array structure, but just make it not be referenced in dynamic contents directly. But since you are in Apply to each, you can write expression to reference the field:

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

Best regards,
