Update a User column in data verse table using power automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 431

Hello Everyone,

 

I did create a column in Data verse table for people picker. Below are the steps I followed.

 

1. Create a column and chose Lookup

2. Selected AAD user table for reference.

 

The point where I stuck is I cannot update this column, do I have to just give email address or is there any other way I'm missing. Can anyone please help me on how can I update this column with a user?

 

Thanks in advance!
