When I add an append variable step, I get a second Apply to each automatically.

Problem to solve: Take a "group request" from one SharePoint list and duplicate it another list based on the members of the group.

 

Group List

Group request titleother dataother data 2Person 1, Person 2, Person 3

 

Pull the data apart to make 3 separate entries into Individual List:

Group request titleother dataother data 2Person 1Person 1, Person 2, Person 3
Group request titleother dataother data 2Person 2Person 1, Person 2, Person 3
Group request titleother dataother data 2Person 3Person 1, Person 2, Person 3

 

I successfully created a flow that would take the Group List and populate the Individual list but didn't keep the original Group Members intact. However, I started messing with it and now I can't recreate it. I keep getting additional "apply to each" steps auto-generated each time I update the "Create Item" step.

 

The beginning of the flow looks like this:

When I add the Create Item step and start mapping the fields, another Apply to Each window appears.

**

Problem 1: keeping the original group members intact in the second list.

Problem 2: perpetual "Apply to each" step

 

thank you!

    Hey @CA_Perez 

     

    I think Select action might help you here.

    Is Group Members your people column in Sharepoint?

     

    Then do the following:

     

    Add your group members dynamic expression in select action.

    Then write the following expression:

     

    For display name: item()['DisplayName']

    For Email: item()['Email']

    If you need any other field from that people group then you can add that too.

     

    I hope this helps 🙂

    Thank you! Yes, it is a person/group column pulling from our active directory. I'm working through a Parse JSON solution right now.
