I have an HTTP request to get certain fields. Then I have a Parse JSON and added a schema. I want to retrieve the value only for the one item, CustFieldID = 704 so that I can get whatever Value for that item. When I add a Condition, Power Automate attempts to add an Apply to each for the 121420 value, then when the flow runs, it gives an error "Value is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array. What am I missing in trying to get this flow to work?
Here is the Output of my HTTP.
Here is the Output for the Parse JSON
Here is my Condition where Power Automate automatically added an Apply to each.

Here is one method using Filter Array to select CustFieldID = 704
Expressions
outputs('Compose_Output_HTTP')?['Value/121420']
outputs('Compose_Value_Array')
item()['CustFieldId']
body('Filter_array')[0]?['WorkOrderId']
body('Filter_array')[0]?['CustFieldValue']
body('Filter_array')[0]?['CustFieldName']
body('Filter_array')[0]?['UseCodeDesc']
body('Filter_array')[0]?['IsVisible']

These screenshots should help clarify the expressions and content used in the flow:
Note item()['CustFieldId'] (used in the previous post) or item()?['CustFieldId'] (used above) will produce the same results.
Hope this helps.
I did it successfully like you did in building my own Compose Output HTTP. However when I run this process using my flow that contains the HTTP, I don't get the same results.
This is my matching scenario you did.
This is my flow with the HTTP output at the top.
So when I run my filter, I get a bad request.
This is what my Compose Value Array expression
OK, one piece of this I didn't think to tell you when posting, the first number under Value changes, depending on the Work Order Id. But it always matches the WorkOrderID field.
So the above property (array) name is not constant and will change according to the WorkOrderID. This does complicate matters! However, if the structure of the data returned by the HTTP action will stay the same then we may be able to reliably extract the ID each time the flow is run - even if the ID changes. We will try to extract this ID by splitting the JSON data (as a string value).
In the updated flow below I have added one new compose action, Compose ID, and updated the Compose Value Array action:
Compose ID expression:
split(split(string(outputs('Compose_Output_HTTP')),'"Value":')[1],'"')[1]
Compose Value Array expression:
outputs('Compose_Output_HTTP')?['Value'][outputs('Compose_ID')]
Let me know how you get on.
Thank you for your patience. This is what I received when attempting with my flow with HTTP outputs.
Can you post the sample data you are working on?
I have renamed my compose action to Get WO Custom Fields to try and match your expressions and pasted the expressions I used in the flow:
split(split(string(outputs('Get_WO_Custom_Fields')),'"Value":')[1],'"')[1]
outputs('Get_WO_Custom_Fields')?['Value'][outputs('Compose_ID')]

Dear Community Members, We'd like to let you know of an upcoming change to the community platform: starting July 16th, the platform will transition to a READ ONLY mode until July 22nd. During this period, members will not be able to Kudo, Comment, or Reply to any posts. On July 22nd, please be on the lookout for a message sent to the email address registered on your community profile. This email is crucial as it will contain your unique code and link to register for the new platform encompassing all of the communities. What to Expect in the New Community: A more unified experience where all products, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages, will be accessible from one community.Community Blogs that you can syndicate and link to for automatic updates. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Stay tuned for the exciting new features and a seamless community experience ahead!
We are excited to announce the Summer of Solutions Challenge! This challenge is kicking off on Monday, June 17th and will run for (4) weeks. The challenge is open to all Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio & Power Pages) community members. We invite you to participate in a quest to provide solutions to as many questions as you can. Answers can be provided in all the communities. Entry Period: This Challenge will consist of four weekly Entry Periods as follows (each an “Entry Period”) - 12:00 a.m. PT on June 17, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on June 23, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on June 24, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on June 30, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on July 1, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on July 7, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on July 8, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on July 14, 2024 Entries will be eligible for the Entry Period in which they are received and will not carryover to subsequent weekly entry periods. You must enter into each weekly Entry Period separately. How to Enter: We invite you to participate in a quest to provide "Accepted Solutions" to as many questions as you can. Answers can be provided in all the communities. Users must provide a solution which can be an “Accepted Solution” in the Forums in all of the communities and there are no limits to the number of “Accepted Solutions” that a member can provide for entries in this challenge, but each entry must be substantially unique and different. Winner Selection and Prizes: At the end of each week, we will list the top ten (10) Community users which will consist of: 5 Community Members & 5 Super Users and they will advance to the final drawing. We will post each week in the News & Announcements the top 10 Solution providers. At the end of the challenge, we will add all of the top 10 weekly names and enter them into a random drawing. Then we will randomly select ten (10) winners (5 Community Members & 5 Super Users) from among all eligible entrants received across all weekly Entry Periods to receive the prize listed below. If a winner declines, we will draw again at random for the next winner. A user will only be able to win once overall. If they are drawn multiple times, another user will be drawn at random. Individuals will be contacted before the announcement with the opportunity to claim or deny the prize. Once all of the winners have been notified, we will post in the News & Announcements of each community with the list of winners. Each winner will receive one (1) Pass to the Power Platform Conference in Las Vegas, Sep. 18-20, 2024 ($1800 value). NOTE: Prize is for conference attendance only and any other costs such as airfare, lodging, transportation, and food are the sole responsibility of the winner. Tickets are not transferable to any other party or to next year’s event. ** PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED RULES for this CHALLENGE** Week 1 Results: Congratulations to the Week 1 qualifiers, you are being entered in the random drawing that will take place at the end of the challenge.

From AI-driven sales insights and customer service enhancements to predictive analytics in supply chain management and autonomous financial processes, the new capabilities enable businesses to proactively address challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
We're embarking on a journey to enhance your experience by transitioning to a new community platform. Our team has been diligently working to create a fresh community site, leveraging the very Dynamics 365 and Power Platform tools our community advocates for. We started this journey with transitioning Copilot Studio forums and blogs in June. The move marks the beginning of a new chapter, and we're eager for you to be a part of it. The rest of the Power Platform product sites will be moving over this summer. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch. We can't wait to welcome you to our new community space, designed with you in mind. Let's connect, learn, and grow together. Here's to new beginnings and endless possibilities! If you have any questions, observations or concerns throughout this process please go to https://aka.ms/PPCommSupport.
