Apply To Each passes the entire array into OneDrive Create File instead of individual items

Posted on by Nikita Microsoft Employee

I have an Azure Function that returns an array of strings in the following format:

["http://myurl.com/files/segment1.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segment2.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segment3.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segment4.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segment5.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segment6.asf","http://myurl.com/files/segmentclose.asf"]

 I then try to pass it to One Drive --> Create File via Apply to Each. However, when I examine failed runs, even though the UI correctly shows that it had detected 7 items in the list, each run shows that the body is the full array:

Body

[ "http://myurl.com/files/segment1.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segment2.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segment3.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segment4.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segment5.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segment6.asf", "http://myurl.com/files/segmentclose.asf" ]
 
And obviously after that I get an error message from OD.
 
How do I return the array in a way that Apply to Each sends items one-by-one instead of all at once?

    I think this array of strings are treated as one item instead of a list of items.  

    You are correct and this is what the title of the post explicitely states.

    So what did you mean about "the UI correctly shows that it had detected 7 items in the list"? Where did you get this information? A screenshot may explain this better.

    Hi Nikita,
