    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Could you please explain what you trying to do? All I can see here is a screenshot not description about your issue.

     

    Thanks

    Re: Update Item when Person/Group Field is empty

    I want to update my SharePoint list when the Author does not enter a email in my PeerReviewer Column.

     that is a multiple select (Person/Group) column. When I put in the Condition PeerReviewer is equal to 

    empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/PeerReviewers/Email']). it does nor update the List.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Please see below. Here 'TestPerson' is 'Person or Group' column type. I have used a compose to map the output. Then in next step I have added an IF condition to check using the below expression

     

    length(outputs('Compose'))

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    That means you having no records returning from your step "Get File Properties - For Peer Reviewers". Check the run history and see the data.

     

    Thanks

    When I check my history I can see the Data and my PeerReviewers results has [ ] as the value
