Overcoming variable 5000 limit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 33

Hi, I'm creating a flow which writes from a SharePoint list to a variable within a for each loop but I get this error:

 

BadRequest. The number of array items in variable 'Acknowledgements' reached the limit: maximum '5000' and actual '5000'.
 
Can anyone advise?
