Forms to Flow - Create Planner Task Priority

Like (1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on 17 Dec 2021 14:47:55 by 30

In my MS Form I ask the task priority in a drop down.

  • Urgent
  • Important
  • Medium
  • Low

When I create the Planner Task step in flow it displays the Priority field.

If I insert the Flow information, I receive an error.

The request is invalid:
Cannot convert the literal 'Urgent' to the expected type 'Edm.Int32'.

 

I see that it appears to be expecting a number from 0-10.

 

How can I translate this?

I believe it is an expression, but do not know how I would set this up.

 

Thanks in advance!

    I have the same issue. Not sure how to switch the value in Power Automate from "urgent" to 1 nor an efficient way considering there are 4 possible choices

    Hello @v-chenzhi ,

     

    Thank you for the information. I have seen that before and understand it utilizes a number reference.  What I am unable to put together is what I need to do to assemble a proper expression. Having not worked with them yet it is a bit of a mystery to me.

     

    Thank you

    Hi @elzool ,

     

    The Crate a task Priority needs an integer.

    Currently, Planner sets the value 1 for "urgent", 3 for "important", 5 for "medium", and 9 for "low".
