Dataverse Lookup Field Blank in List Rows step

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AnthonyIsAdulti 39
Hi everyone,

I have a Power Automate Flow step that is the "List Rows" step for Dataverse. Right now I am trying to put a lookup field in my "List Rows" (Dataverse) step, however when the flow runs it just shows up as blank. Is there any resolutions for this whilst using this step or do I have to go for another solution? The other more normal fields such as text and GUID's are showing up, just not the two lookup fields I am pulling.

Many thanks.

    Lookup fields won’t return directly in “List rows.” Use the hidden value column instead.
    • Step 1 — Add this in Select columns:
      • _<lookupname>_value
    • Step 2 — Access the GUID like this:
      • item()?['_<lookupname>_value']
    • (Optional) If you need the lookup’s name, use Expand Query:
      • lookupname($select=name)
    • Then reference it like:
      • item()?['lookupname']?['name']
