Populate template from selected item on SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jauntysever 23

Is it possible to populate a template using only the selected items from a SharePoint list? For example, if I constantly need to customise my resume and I had all my experiences in a SharePoint list, can I assemble a new resume (from a template) using only selected items from that SharePoint list?

    Are you talking about creating a word doc from values in a SharePoint list?

    Unfortunately no, you can’t run a single flow from a sharepoint list when multiple items are selected. 

    however, you could build a canvas app that lets you do this. You basically need an array of list ids as an input to your flow. If you build a power app and allow for multiple gallery items to be selected, you can fire the flow and pass in the list of selected items. The flow can then do what it needs to do because it now can retrieve all those items, and generate the template.
