Sharepoint Online: form dropdown menu with select options from an Azure BLOB

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by atmorell 9

Greetings,

 

I have created an Azure Runbook that collects some data from our local datacenter and stores the result in an Azure Storage Account Blob. The file is currently JSON but can change it to whatever is best for PowerApps. 

 

How do I use this Blob data as selection options in an Sharepoint Online Form? (PowerApps) 

 

So far I connected the PowerApp to my Azure Storage Account. However when I try to reference the Blob file, I am getting a warning: "Expecting table data but got incompatiable Blob values"

 

DataCardValue: Items

AzureBlobStorage.GetFileContent("employeeTemplateOutput.json")  

 

employeeTemplateOutput.json is the JSON Blob file inside the container.

    Hi @atmorell,

     

    Currently PowerApps can't handle the content schema automatically, though it could get the blob contents with the related function, it is not possible for PowerApps to parse the content data.

    You may take a try to use Microsoft Flow parse JSON together, see if that would help:

    Regards,

    Michael

    I ended up storing the items in another Sharepoint list and use the built-in reference field.
