.Run function Optional fields

Posted on by DS-14111351-0

I have a PowerApps app to create new document sets, and I've set up a flow to create new document sets using a PowerApps trigger. The manual trigger in the flow works as expected. I've configured optional fields that can be left blank. However, in the run function within my PowerApps app, it only requests 8 out of the 12 fields. I have 4 optional fields, but I am receiving an error stating there are too many arguments. Even though these fields are optional in my flow, they are still part of the PowerApps V2 trigger. Why is this causing an error when I enter all 12?

Optional fields used as parameters in a flow still need to be supplied in the run(). For optional fields you can supply a null value using a record format, but they still need to be there. For required fields a null value will throw an error. Here's an example of a run() that sends one required and one optional value.

flowname.run("text value to pass", {optionalfieldname: null})

If I leave my optional blank it gives me an error

{
date_2: Text(
DataCardValue64.SelectedDate;
"yyyy-mm-dd"
);
text_3: Text(DataCardValue60.Value);
text_4: Text(DataCardValue61.Value);
number_1: DataCardValue65.Value
}

Full function :

NewDocSetManifest.Run(
DataCardValue51.Value;
DataCardValue188.Selected.Value;
Text(
DataCardValue59.SelectedDate;
"yyyy-mm-dd"
);
Text(
DataCardValue58.SelectedDate;
"yyyy-mm-dd"
);
Text(
DataCardValue63.SelectedDate;
"yyyy-mm-dd"
);
Concat(
Filter(
DataCardValue57.SelectedItems;
!IsBlank(Value)
);
Value;
","
);
DataCardValue62.Value;
DataCardValue66.Selected.Value;
{
date_2: Text(
DataCardValue64.SelectedDate;
"yyyy-mm-dd"
);
text_3: Text(DataCardValue60.Value);
text_4: Text(DataCardValue61.Value);
number_1: DataCardValue65.Value
}
)
