I have a compose action in power automate that returns me below:
[
    {
        "RegType""GUEST",
        "Attendees": [
            {
                "Name""Vince"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "RegType""OTHER",
        "Attendees": [
            {
                "Name""Keith"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "RegType""ALL STAR",
        "Attendees": [
            {
                "Name""Ken"
            },
            {
                "Name""Mike"
            }
        ]
    }
]
Above array is used as an input to Populate a microsoft word template. Below is how my word template looks with developer controls:
GroupedAttendees is the array and a repeating section control. Inside it are plain text control to display RegType. There is another nested repeating section control Attendees containing plain text control to display Name.
RegType are getting populated in the template after the flow is run but the corrosponding names are not.
 
What I am missing or doing wrong here ?
 
Thanks.

    If RegType is showing but Name is blank, most probable reason might be one of these:
    • Wrong Title on Attendees section
    • Wrong Title on Name text control
    • Name control not physically inside inner repeating section
    • JSON not wrapped properly
    Check below : 
    The inner repeating section’s Title is incorrect, It must be exactly as : Attendees , its is case‑sensitive, should not be having spaces
    The Name field is not fully inside the Attendees repeating section , If the Name text control sits outside the inner section borders, Power Automate will not populate it.
    The correct template structure should be Repeating Section -> Title: GroupedAttendees
    Plain Text -> Title: RegType
    Wrap your array before passing to Word:
    {
      "GroupedAttendees": [
        { "RegType": "GUEST", "Attendees": [{ "Name": "Vince"}] },
        { "RegType": "OTHER", "Attendees": [{ "Name": "Keith"}] },
        { "RegType": "ALL STAR", "Attendees": [{ "Name": "Ken"}, { "Name": "Mike"}] }
      ]
    }
     
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your input. I do not see any issues with how Attendees is spelled and the Name control is within it.
    I don't think I have to wrap the array otherwise RegType would have not printed as well.
