Using a SharePoint list with a multichoice field, a user can select 1-11 teams. In my flow, I added an initialize variable (varAssignedTo) and set it to a string. Next, I added an Apply to each containing an Append to String Variable. This is working great.

Now I want to add an UPDATE ITEM action to update additional text fields used to indicate which teams have been assigned.

TeamA

TeamB

TeamC

TeamD

Using an UPDATE ITEM action, I want to select my TEAMB field, add an expression to look at my "varAssignedTo" and if it finds TEAMB in the string, set this field to YES.

I see in the expression builder there is an "if(expression, valueIfTrue, valueIfFalse)" however, being a rookie not sure how to write it out. something like, If(contains(variables('varAssignedTo'),'TeamB',YES,'')))

Hi @Portland ,

Thanks for sharing the flow details.

In an Update Item action , use below expression for BUS Exp field -
if(contains(variables('varAssignedTo'),'BUS'),'Yes','No')
It will check if the variable varAssignedTo value contains a word 'BUS' and then set the value to Yes/No accordingly.

Output (List item)-
