Multi-Select Person field with null or blank and Single person value

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi

 

I have a multi-select person field with blank as well as single person values in it. I tried passing this logic in 

 

if(equals(triggerBody()?['Location 2']?['Claims'],''), null,split(triggerBody()?['Location 2']?[Claims],';') it is saying 'expression is invalid. Is there a way to load null multi-select person field?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    In your expression you are trying to retrieve the multi-person field from the TriggerBody.

     

    Looking at your setup that reference seems to be incorrect, since you are using a Manually trigger a flow action (which does not have a multi-person choice field).

     

    I would suggest to look at the item and empty functions. With these you should be able to refer to a specific field of an item and check if it is blank/empty in an expression. Let me know if you need any additional help with this.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    @Expiscornovus  Thanks for providing the detailed steps.

     

    I have noticed the end bracket for the IF() expression is missing, hence getting the invalid expression?

     

    if(equals(triggerBody()?['Location 2']?['Claims'],''), null,split(triggerBody()?['Location 2']?[Claims],';'))
