Hello,

 

I follow these steps (https://pankajsurti.com/2020/10/12/how-to-update-people-field-using-send-an-http-request-to-sharepoint-in-power-automate/) and my flow runs successfully.

However, when I go to the created list, the field comes without empty

 

Can anyone help? @annajhaveri 
My goal is to fill in the field

    Hi @ruiandrebrito,

     

    You could use the validateUpdateListItem method. With that method you can use the key and value (claim of user).

     

    @tom_riha has written a nice blog about this approach:

    https://tomriha.com/how-to-easily-update-sharepoint-people-picker-column-in-power-automate/

     

    Below is an example.

     

    {
    "formValues": [ 
     { 
     "FieldName": "Assigned", 
     "FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|@{outputs('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['body/mail']}'}]" 
     } 
    ],
    "bNewDocumentUpdate": true
    }
