@emiwil This doesn't look like a Filter Array action.
This is a Filter Array action:
However, I don't believe that's the correct action to use for your case. You should use an expression to check and see if the person field is empty.
While building and testing a flow for MS Forms, it's recommended to use a Manual trigger so you don't need to leave Power Automate to trigger your flow.
Add Compose action to store the expression. Rename your actions to keep your flow organized.
Insert the empty() function.
Click on the dynamic content tab and insert the dynamic content for your person column. The name should match your column name.
Run a test. Review the outputs. The empty() function will return a true value if the column is empty.
The if() function takes three parameters. The first parameter is a condition that returns a boolan value (aka true or false), the second parameter is the value that is returned if the condition is true. The last parameter is the value returned if the condition is false.
if([true/false],[true value],[false value])
Compose your expression to suit your requirements. The true/false value will come from the expression created previously.
Click on the expression to edit it. Add if with an opening parenthesis to the start.
Press the down arrow key to go to the end of the expression. Add a comma. Tip: Pay attention to the tool tip as it bolds the text of the current parameter you are setting.
Insert the dynamic content of the true value or enter static text. If your value is a string of text, ensure you have single quotes around it.
Add another comma and enter the false value. Click on the dynamic content tab and insert the dynamic content from your form.
Add a closing parenthesis and don't forget to press update.
Run a test.
You can now insert the output of the Compose action into any subsequent actions.
