Dynamic Value error in Update Task Action

[GraceAutomate]

Hi everyone! I am setting up a Power Automate flow off the back of a Microsoft form. I want the the flow to be triggered once a new form response is submitted and I want it to create a teams planner task, update it with the information from the form and then post a card in the team page.

The issue happens when I add a dynamic value in the taskid field of the update task action, and doesn't happen when I add a static value. e.g. I populate the taskid field with dynamic content such as response id from the form submission. I have tried via variables but nothing works - any ideas? I have attached images of the entire flow and where I am getting errors. 

Thank you!

@GraceAutomate You are using the incorrect Dynamic Content in the Task Id field. It should be the Id dynamic content from the Create a Task action.

How to Email Attachments 🖇 to Your Planner Tasks

When you add attachments to a Planner task from your computer, the files are automatically saved in the Documents document library of the SharePoint site associated with the M365 Group of your plan. Instead of downloading email attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint just so you can add them to a Planner Task—automate it.

In this Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial—I’m going to show you how build a flow that will take your email attachments and add them to a Planner task. All you need to do is copy a link to a task, forward the email to yourself and the attachments will be saved onto SharePoint and attached to your planner task.

At the end of the video I’ll show you how to use Trigger Conditions so this automation only runs when specific conditions are met.
