Problem copying a person or group "multiple value" from a list to a library

[Acote]

Hi,

I ma trying to copy a person or group column, multiple value in SharePoint and i cannot find any solution to do this task that should be simple. The last thins i tried was this solution https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Update-a-person-field-in-sharePoint-with-multiple... , It look solid but i am getting an error saying that i am passing an object but power automate expect a array, but the variable is an array ?

• I tried passing the claims field directly, no success;
• Tried with email, no success.

By the way i am french and i am using a french interface could it be related to this ? 

This is how i am building the variable:

Try this format for the Append to array action:

{
"Claims": "i:0#.f|membership|email-address"
}

Hi Ellis tks for the feedback. I was finally able to use the claims as describe in the solution, so i will be closing this issue.

This post illustrates an alternate solution: https://tomriha.com/how-to-select-specific-values-from-an-array-in-power-automate/

You can avoid the need for the variable/apply to each method by using 'Select' action to isolate 'Claims' values from the array.

I had built a flow using Initialize Variable>Apply to Each>Append to Array to copy items from one SP list to another. Both lists had several mulit-person fields and it took several minutes to run the flow. Following the post above, I revised the flow to use 'Select' and used the select output 'Claims' in people fields for Create and Update actions. Now the entire flow processes in seconds. Both faster and simpler, IMHO.
