Flow Create unique items in a List

[wellisi]

have the following scenario with Sharepoint online:

1. we have a list in which you can create news entries. In this list you can assign one or more persons or groups with a people picker field.

2. Now in a 2nd list an entry should be created and assigned to the persons which were selected. So if several persons or a group was selected in the first list, it has do create unique items for each person

Is this possible with Flow and if so what are the steps?

Referring to my post here:

Hi @wellisi

From your post at the Tech Community site, it looks like you have something going already. If you do, can you please post screenshots of what you have built so we can take a look and maybe re-create it on our end? 

Thank you,

Hi @wellisi,

I have made a test on my side and have created two lists as below:

 

The AssignTo column is a Person or Group column allow multiple seletions.

 

The SingleAssignTo column is a Person or Group column don't allow multiple seletions.

Then I have created a flow as below:

The expression of SingleAssignTo Claims as below:

concat('i:0#.f|membership|',items('Apply_to_each')?['Email'])

When an item is created in the List A as below:

The flow would run successfully as below:

 

The items would be created in the List B as below:

Hi v-yuazh-msft

I tested your flow and it works perfect! Thanks for that!

So now what did you think about assign it to groups? Is it possible to get out the members of the group and create a unique item in the List B?

Hi 

v-yuazh-msft just posted a nice solution for my problem, so i can delete my old not working flow

[wellisi]

So i think i have the solution, combined with this Manual:

https://blog.portiva.nl/2018/06/05/microsoft-flow-perform-actions-on-users-in-a-sharepoint-group-usi...

It seems to work. 

But it only works with Sharepoint Groups. Is there any solution for Office 365 Security Groups?

Hi @wellisi,

I afraid that there is no any any solution for Office 365 Security Groups.
