Flow to update a SharePoint Person field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CatalinaBP 86

I'm hoping this is an easy question for all you smart people:

 

I want to be able to assign an employee to a SharePoint list item using a Person field.  

 

I'm using "For a Selected Item" in SharePoint to trigger a flow.  And the only information required is the Person field.

 

What I can't figure out is how to update the Person field in SharePoint as part of the flow.  The flow runs ok, but the field is not updated.
