I used chatGPT to help with this post.
 
Hello everyone,

I have a flow that has been running smoothly for years. The flow creates a task in Planner from a Microsoft List. Unfortunately, I can no longer save any changes. Every time I try to save the flow, I receive the following error message:

Error message:

Details:
The error seems to be related to the validation of an input parameter. Specifically, the value "null" is being passed as a string in the path body/checklist/0/isChecked, which cannot be converted to the Boolean type.

Flow Details:

The flow creates tasks in Planner based on entries in a Microsoft List.
The flow includes actions such as Get_items, Create_a_task, Update_task_details, and Update_item_copy_1.
The connection to SharePoint and Planner is correctly set up and has been working until now.
Questions:

Has anyone experienced similar issues when saving flows?
Are there any known solutions or workarounds for this error?
Could this be due to a change in the API or the connections?
I appreciate any help or suggestions that can contribute to resolving this issue.

Thank you in advance!

    Try adding the null values as expressions in the isChecked fields. Leaving them empty is not allowed in the Update task details action, I can reproduce that (see screenshot 1).
     
    Below is an example
     
    1. Before with empty fields, which is not allowed

     
    2. With expressions
    [
  {
    "id": "1",
    "title": "Infopoint1",
    "isChecked": @{null}
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "title": "Servicedesk",
    "isChecked": @{null}
  }
]
