Posted on by rbn_nue

Hi Folks,

 

Can some one please help me figure out how we can use "Send an http request to SharePoint" action to create items in a SPO list. I have the below complex columns to be addressed:

 

Choice Columns

URL
Person or group

 

Can anyone provide an example that they have worked with before?

 

Thank you.

    Hi @rbn_nue,

     

    With all these complex type of columns/fields it is always useful to use the validateUpdateListItem method. 

     

    @tom_riha has a lot of great articles with examples about using this method.

     

    Below are three which might help you:
