Choice selection exporting to word as value instead of label

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by cas_kraft 24

I have a drop-down choice column in Dataverse, and I am trying to get the selection to be exported into Word. While it is exporting, I am getting the value of the choice instead of the label. 

 

 

The proof-of-concept flow:

The population part in detail:

What's being output, and what I want to have output:

    Are you able to show the output (JSON) that you are getting back from your Get a row by ID action in order to see the actual field names, etc.?

     

    You can try adding the following on to the end of your field name to retrieve the value as appose to the Id.

    //Add @OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue to the end of your field name

//Id
outputs('Get_a_row_by_ID')?['body/YOUR_FIELD_NAME']

//Value
outputs('Get_a_row_by_ID')?['body/YOUR_FIELD_NAME@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']

    I put your recommendation into an 'initialize variable' step and it worked! Thanks!
