Parse JSON from array object results in "apply to each" action

[artivo]

Hello Community,

i do have a flow where an ArrayVariable is dynamically filled up in an "apply to each" loop.

This works as expected.

Next task is to make each line of the array available for the root-flow via "Parse JSON".

This also works as expected.

The only issue is... when i want to use a value from the previous "Parse JSON" action in a e.g. compose action, it will automatically create an "Apply to each" loop.

This is unwanted 🙂

The reason for this mal-behavior seems to be the format of the JSON-content which is parsed in "[ ]".

I conclude: Whenver PowerAutomate gets a request with input in brackets, it starts an "apply to each" action.

Now the question: What can I do to get rid of this ?

Below a screenshot:

When I re-use content from the last "Parse JSON" connector it starts an "apply to each" even though there's no looping action.

Any Ideas ?

Hi @artivo ,

Since you are using Parse Json content again and it clearly says item of type array , when you use it again or any fields inside that it will automatically consider it as array and do apply to each loop. If you are looking for particular value , go to that level first and use it .

Thanks
