Multi-Select Option Set CDS in Power Automate - Not Available

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9,287 Most Valuable Professional

Hi experts,

I have built an entity in the Common Data Service that has a multi-select option set as a field.  I am using Power Automate to build a flow that will want to check if a value is selected in the set of values.

I get the entity in the flow and based on a number of blog posts I was trying to add a "Compose" step where I was going to set it to the value of the field on my custom CDS Process Step entity.  The problem is all other fields show up on the entity except for the multi-select option set field.  It is just not in the list of dynamic content fields to choose from.  Am I missing something here?

I even tried to add a step right after the "Get" of the record for an "Update" to see if the field is available there to update and it is not listed in the fields for the entity, see below.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.  I did publish all customizations of course and already using this field on forms and data populated.

 

Thanks,

 

Drew

    Hi @dpoggemann 

    Please try using the Common Data Services current connector instead of the Common Data Service. 

     

    To use the CDS current connector your flow must be created from inside a solution. 

     

    I have made a trial on the same and i could get the value using CDS (Current)
