Filter Query Value Selection Issue (Sharepoint Get Items)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi all,

 

Starting to tinker with all sorts of Power Automate flow functions - definitely like some of the things you can do.   I do seem to be running into an odd issue with the current flow I'm working on...  in a nutshell, I'm submitting info via an MS Form (works fine), then taking that entry and creating a record in another Excel online sheet (works fine) and then need to grab data from a Sharepoint List that matches the same entry from the MS Form data...  when I try to set the 'Filter Query' parameters, the 'Value' field initially shows the Dynamic Content that I want to use (see below)

But when I select something in that list, it doesn't show up in the 'Value' field - and I cant get that window to pop up again unless I change the view for the 'Filter Query' (arrows next to the label).  I see it for a fraction of a second, and then it just flickers out like it lost focus or something.

 

I've had this same issue with a couple other similar Flows using the Sharepoint Get Items function... but somehow eventually managed to get a value in place (not sure how - a bunch of lucky keystrokes for all I know).

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

    @grantjenkins:  Thank you for the tip on switching off the experimental functions - worked like a champ, and my flow is chugging along as expected!

    The Experimental features can play up at times. I generally work with it turned off as often get issues like the one you're mentioning.
