    Hi,
    You may have problems with Choice columns in SharePoint when creating Copilot Studio agents. I would suggest you follow the workaround suggested by Matthew Devaney in the following blog post: Copilot Studio SharePoint List Knowledge Workaround
    It implies many steps and using AI Builder, but that's an excellent solution for the case you are working on.
     
    Hope it helps!

    @fchopo thanks for the reply
     
    i think the Agent is understanding the ItemType as a true/false field, see what i get , with those questions:-
     
     
     

    any idea what is going on? Thanks

     

    Also one note the link you are refering to mentioned this -

     

    "Copilot Studio cannot use a SharePoint list as knowledge "

     

    which i think is not the case now, as copilot agents are suppose to support lists

    Agree on that is a wrong sentence! "Copilot Studio cannot use a SharePoint list as knowledge "
     
    Could you try to add a calculated column in the SharePoint list that is the text value of the choice column, and try with that one?
     
    Hope it helps!
