Hi,

How we can read values from multi selected choice field in the SharePoint List using flow. When I use Get-Item action, I get JSON response as below for multi-choice field.

[
  {
    "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    "Id": 0,
    "Value": "Sunny"
  },
  {
    "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    "Id": 1,
    "Value": "Cloudy"
  },
  {
    "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    "Id": 2,
    "Value": "Raining"
  }
]

Hi to everyone,

I tried to get this solution for my flow but it returns every value twice.
I have to send the choices via mail to someone to approve the selected values. In my case there are different kinds of mediacommunications "Radio", "TV", "Social Media" and so on.

The mail looks like this:

So every selected media returns two times.

First step in my flow is: GET ELEMENT

next step: INITIALIZE VARIABLE as STRING

next step: Attach to String inkl. a foreeach

an here the final email-format incl. the information:

I don´t know where I made a mistake. Please help, if possible.

Thanks to everyone who can support.

Hi Thomas

Did you manage to solve this? I have the same issue where it will email multiple options and times per item and I just want one email per item.

Hi SilentUK,

yes I did.
For me it works with a workaround.
Could you please show your flow?

@sergeluca , Thanks for this solution. But based up on this Variable we were not able to proceed with remaining steps.
What I am trying is to get each choice value and then
- if choiceValue is equal to Title from other list
- then get URL of that matching CHoice Value (variable)
- and then create folder.

Issue is that It can only able to run for first choice and it was not able to parse second choice.
