Posted on by ciano789 28

Hi All,

 

I have created a Microsoft flow following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27q6lAA1TAM&t=954s 

 

It works great for non person/group columns.

I have a select statement (select 3 action below) which splits the data by ";" but this does not seem to agree with person/group fields, is there a way I can dynamically handle these fields? 

 

Select Action

From split(replace(replace(string(outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')?['body']),'{',''),'}',''),',')
Title  replace(split(item(),':')[0],'"','')
Previous Value replace(split(item(),':')[1],'"','')
Current Value outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_2')?['body']?[json(item())]

    hi @ciano789 

     

    Not going to watch the video.

     

    Where did the string come from you are trying to split, how did you add a People/Person "attribution" to the string, or is just the persons email or something.

     

    Anyway, share more please.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You

     , 

    Thank you for your response.

     

    The string in the select 3 action (the action I'm getting the error for) comes from the two HTTP requests, The issue is that the input isn't in the expected format but I'm not sure how I can get it into the required format.

     

    the ideal format would be to have all values separated by a : and to have one value per 

     

     

    the input for the select action is this
