Hi @pcakhilnadh ,

incase of @zmansuri  is busy or out of office and cannot get back to this case in time, I would provide more details based on your requirements, and please consider accept @zmansuri  reply as the solution.

We can add some expressions to the body of this action to set the properties of the SharePoint column. The properties that can be changed for the column can refer to the properties in the JOSN of the SharePoint column:

{
  "d": {
    "__metadata": {
      "id": "",
      "uri": "",
      "type": "SP.FieldChoice"
    },

      "__deferred": {
        "uri": ""
      }
    },
    "TitleResource": {
      "__deferred": {
        "uri": ""
      }
    },
