Problem setting a "Choices" Dataverse column using Power Automate Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36

I have a table called "Project Registration" where the user set the Choices field using the UI (Model Driven App), now from the Flow I have a trigger that will get activated when a New Project Registration is created. Inside that Flow, below the trigger, I'm creating a New Row on the Project Table, where this Choices field is created on the same way, and they share the Choices List.

**This are the 2 tables on Dataverse.

**This is the Trigger on the Actual Flow

**And this the step that it is creating a new Row on the Project table

I tried different formulas to set this Choices column, but nothing seems to be working.
Does someone know how to set A Choices Field on Dataverse using Power Automate flow?

Thanks.

    @AndreyC 

    I made a test on my side and you can't directly set it from the action trigger but what you can do is that you do another call Get Row By Id and set it from the Get Row by ID by choosing add Custom value and select the choices from the Get Row By ID

    @Mira_Ghaly 

    Yes they are.
    You can noticed that the first 2 screens of my question, I did showed both Tables and Columns that I'm dealing with.
