Power Automate Evergreen Flow - Error

[PatrickN]

Hello Community,

I am in the process of building a flow that picks up new tasks on a Planner Board and then tags them.
However, I always get an error message.

Error Message:
Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Update_a_task_(V2)' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'contains(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/description'],'New feature')' cannot be evaluated because property 'body/description' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an integer index. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

Flow

Code from Update a task (v2)

{
    "inputs": {
        "host": {
            "connectionName": "shared_planner",
            "operationId": "UpdateTask_V3",
            "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_planner"
        },
        "parameters": {
            "id": "@item()?['id']",
            "body/appliedCategories/category1": "@contains(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/description'],'New feature')",
            "body/appliedCategories/category15": "@contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/title'],'Microsoft 365 Apps')"
        },
        "authentication": "@parameters('$authentication')"
    },
    "metadata": {
        "operationMetadataId": "e0247508-fcf3-4056-863b-a947cbc85843"
    }
}

For further Information, I try to follow these Guide:

I hope someone can help me.

Hi @PatrickN 

You don't need "Apply to each" action where "Update task" action is placed. Update task action can be executed in the previous apply to each action.

Pls drag out update task details to previous "Apply to each - get task details" action & remove "Apply to each" action.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks

Hi @ManishSolanki,

thanks for your reply.

Now i get this result.

Hi @PatrickN 

We need to handle null or empty text in task description. To fix this error, pls use the below expression:

if(equals(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/description'],null),false,contains(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/description'],'New feature'))

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

HI @ManishSolanki ,

thanks for your help.

Now the flow run without an error, but also without an result.

It should assign defined tags to the new elements based on the title. Unfortunately this does not work, do you have any ideas?

The Code for the Tag.

if(equals(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/titel'],null),false,contains(outputs('Get_task_details')?['body/titel'],'Microsoft Teams'))

Hi @PatrickN 

The action 'Get task details' does not return title of the task. It returns the task's description and I have shared the expression for checking in description in my last response. To get the title of the task, you need to check in the loop (Apply to each). As I could not understand the language of the trigger in the screenshot, if you could pls provide me the English name for trigger (first action). 

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

All values that react to the body are now working.
Do you also have an idea how I can adjust the title info in the same way?

The trigger in the first screenshot is the following: When creating a new task.

I tried it with the following function:

if(equals(triggeroutputs()?['body/title'],null),false,contains(triggeroutputs()?['body/title'],'Microsoft Teams'))

Unfortunately, this did not work.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @PatrickN 

I tried with the same expression and its working:

if(equals(triggeroutputs()?['body/title'],null),false,contains(triggeroutputs()?['body/title'],'Microsoft Teams'))

When I created a task with title "Task for Microsoft Teams", the output obtained was:

Hello,
thanks for your help.
It was somehow due to the temporary change of the display language. Now it works as it should.

Best regards
