Hi All
I am interested to create a flow of 6 approvers that you can select using the Mult-Select list of options input feature.
These will be emails that approvals will be sent to. One to chose per category - about 4-5 in the list.
I have tried and create this before but it wouldnt work for the 2nd approver. it would crash and throw error that it cant parse the answer.
How do i store the answers to then pass onto the approval ?
?
Hope this made sense.

Hi @Domin
Since requirement is to pick 1 value from each choice of options
Why not use dropdown list of options for user to choose from?
Multi select list of options will return an array even if user picks 1 value and ypu have to parse through the array

Hi @Domin ,
Please refer to the following method to configure Flow.

In addition, if each Input selects only one email address, it seems that Add a drop-down list of options is a better choice.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Thats great !
I havent used the list box before but it works with my flow, its a little repetitive as i dont actually store the variable. Its more static. There are 6 approvers and i need to track the location where the approval is. I am sure it is completely do-able with loops but it would seem like loop maddness !
Out of topic, at the end of the flow i convert the file to PDF and put it in a different library - i would like to carry on properties like Who Approved and time stamp to the other library, whats the best way to do that ??
Thanks
Hi @Domin ,
You could create a multiple line of text column in SharePoint Library and insert Response summary in it.

Oh right okay, would this work if i wanted to store 6 responses ?
Hi @Domin ,
Approval action will only return the response of the user who performed the approval after the Flow execution ends.
You could test it.
