Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have an app which i built in powerapps in which users input text and check checkboxes

I would like to populate a word document with the users answers.

I've made a powerautomate flow to populate a word document, and it works great with the user text input, however, I am unsure how to populate checkboxes within the word document. I have a dataverse table with a Yes/No column which holds the user answers for checkboxes within powerapps if that helps

How would i populate checkboxes within the word document

Section within word i would like to populate the text boxes in

Dataverse table

Hi Power1231,

It seems not supported according to Microsoft Word Online connector reference but there are workarounds, have a look to this topic : Solved: Populate Word with Checkbox - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

To build on this, if anyone else needs this in the future
I did what was suggested in the other thread, but used an if statement for producing checkboxes within word developer

We can use the following codes to generate checkboxes in Power Automate and fill the Plain Text Content Controls with them in the word templates:
checkbox with tick: uriComponentToString('%E2%98%91')
checkbox without tick: uriComponentToString('%E2%98%90')
