Posted on by milanb

Hi All,

I am trying to build a flow and copy/move a Sharepoint list item from one SharePoint list to another.

The issue I am having is copying/moving the data that is in choice/multi select format.

When I look at the output from the ‘Get Items’ action, the multi select data is brought back as “@odata.type”

Having looked at a similar issue and response provided by @DeepakS

Solved: Retrieve checkbox value and remove "@odata.type" - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

I have managed to retrieve the value using the following:

This has returned the output:

I now need to get this data into a multi select/choice format before I can create it in the new SharePoint list.

I know that I need to format my output as a JSON Array but I am unsure as to the steps.

I would really appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

Hi @RezaDorrani

Thank you for the guidance.

I have managed to get to a point now where I can convert the output into an array, however, when I retrieved the values from "@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure…..”, I was unable to values together as a string

i.e. [“Local to your home”,”Regionally”,”Nationally”]

I could only get the outputs as individual strings (see below) I would get have to select ‘Next’ to select the view the next output.

I need to be able to create an array
[
"Local to your home",
"Regionally",
"Nationally"
]

And then to get the following output via the Select

[
{
    "Value": "Local to your home"
},
{
    "Value": "Regionally"
},
{
    "Value": "Nationally"

Instead of the above, I get the following from my select:

I have tried using the join() array function and Parse JSON without luck. Perhaps I am using it in the wrong place?

Below are the steps I have used
Thanks
