Multi-select field choices

Posted on by
Hello,
 
I'm currently working on a power automate flow that goes from a Microsoft form to creating a sharepoint List item. It all is set up and works, except for 1 issue: One of the fields on the Microsoft Form is a multi-select field, and I'm not sure how to automate the potential multi-select -> a choice field on the sharepoint List (that is also set up for multi-select). Any help would be appreciated!

    Here is a slightly different version for saving a Microsoft Forms multi-select choice field to a SharePoint multi-select choice column.
     
    (1) Here is the multi-select choice column as defined in SharePoint:
     
    (2) Here is the Microsoft Form showing the multi-select choice field for a selection of fruit. The choice values match exactly the choice values in the SharePoint column:
     
    (3) Add a Select action, and for the From property enter the expression as shown below. For the expression, you need to wrap the MS Forms choice question inside a json function:
     
    Here is a closer look at the expression for the Select From property:
     
    (5) In the Select action, add a property key called "Value", and for the value, enter the expression item() as shown below:
     
    (6) In a SharePoint Create item action, use the output of the Select action for the value of the SharePoint choice column:
     
    (7) Here we see how the MS Forms selection is saved to SharePoint:

    Hi sharepoint requires array of object.
     
    1. You need to split the form response 
         split(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/MyMultiSelect'], ';')
     
    2. Using Select action from above output, Map Key as Value and Value as Item(), so it will generate as 
         
    [
      { "Value": "Option 1" },
      { "Value": "Option 3" }
    ]
     
    3. Pass outputs('Select') to multiselect 
     
     
    Thanks,
