Via a SAVE button, I am saving a parent SharePoint record successfully and setting that record to a variable.  I am trying to get that Parent record ID and insert in each child record created.  I thought I could set that parent ID to a DataCardValue, then set the child field to that DataCardValue, but still not working.

    To patch a SharePoint Lookup, you must pass a record, not just an ID or text. Use the correct structure with @odata.type, Id, and Value, and this error will go away.
     
    Replace: ParentID: Value(DataCardValue69.Text)
     
    With:
    ParentID: {
        '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
        Id: gblLastPatched.ID,
        Value: "Display Name Here"
    }
