Planner to Sharepoint - "Get Plan Details" Error: The 'from' property value in the 'select' action inputs is of type 'Object'. The value must be an array.

Hi all, first post here so hope it's detailed enough!

 

I'm trying to use PA to extract detail from a Planner to use in PowerBI, however I am having issues with the 'Label' for each Task.

 

Couple of bits of info:

  • Labels are availalble via the "List Tasks" action, but they show as "category1", "category2" etc, rather than their names as shown in Planner.
  • The actual label names are available via the "Get Plan Details" action.

I am aiming to use this to create a mapping table so I can represent the correct names in my PowerBI app.

 

The issue I have is, I pass the "CategoryDescriptions" from the output of Get Plan Details into a Select, but I then get the error:
"The 'from' property value in the 'select' action inputs is of type 'Object'. The value must be an array."

The inputs to the Select are:

{
    "from": {
        "category1""oneITSM",
        "category3""Process Advisory ",
        "category13""To be confirmed",
        "category21""Parked"
    }
}

 

  No idea where to go with this, so any help/pointers would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

    Hi @Silverdale9999,

     

    Like the error mentions, it is an object and not an array. However, you can turn it into an array if you want.

     

    Put square brackets around the category descriptions field.
