'String' is not convertible to type/format 'String/uuid'

[CharlotteWest]

I've created a flow with the intention of taking results from a Form and creating a new record in our Dynamics 365 CRM. We've made flows like this before which have worked fine, but now I get the following error:

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_a_new_record' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/_new_tempo_org_value' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value '"Tempo"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Basically, I have no idea what this means, and any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Here is the code in case it's relevant:

@CharlotteWest 

Could you please try enclosing the parameter in the new_tempo_org_value as a string when passing the input.

String('value to be passed in the field new_tempo_org_value').

Please follow the above step and let us know if that helps with resolution of the issue.

If this information helps you with resolution, please consider giving a thumbs up and mark the solution as resolved.

[CharlotteWest]

Sorry I'm not really sure what you mean. I'm very new to Flow so if you could give me a screen shot or something of what it should look like, that would be great!

Hi @CharlotteWest 

Are you mapping _new_tempo_org_value to CRM in a look up field? If it is then the format is the entity logical name/Guid. At this stage if you only have a text value then you need to add another Power Automate action to get the related text GUID from the relational entity. Once you have that GUID you can map the value in that lookup field.

Thanks

Hello, 

Yes it is a lookup. Which function is it specifically that I will need to add to my flow? I've tried looking but I'm not sure. We basically have a list of "Regions" in the CRM with set names which match those in the Form. I need the Flow to look at the GUIDs of the Regions in the CRM and match them to whichever answer someone gave in the form. Is that possible?

Hi @CharlotteWest 

You need to use List records actions step and set the filter query

[CharlotteWest]

Thank you for your help. I've tried this, but it says "BadRequest" and says it's a Syntax Error?

Any luck on this issue? I am facing the same.

[Abdullah_Awad]

You need to add a single quotation mark 'Value' around the value.

I'm getting the same error. 

I want to approve a Purchase Order residing in D365. I created the flow with the appropriate triggers and conditions then i started the approval process. Once the request has been rejected/approved, I want to update the Purchase Order form on D365 with the approval status, approver comments, and the approver. However I'm getting this error (same error as this issue):

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_a_record' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/_msdyn_approvedrejectedby_value' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value 'admn-d36'' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

This is also an issue for me.  Can anyone provide a link to Microsoft documentation on this? I have tried adding the expression guid() in front of the field in the Flow and still get this error.

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Add_Line_Item_Row' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/cr37e_orderid' is required to be of type 'String/uuid'. The runtime value '"20558"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uuid'.

Hi @Geezer 

You need the entity logical name / Guid to set the lookup.

Thanks

[Geezer]

Thank you for the reply. But I don't understand anything you said. I don't have a lookup. I have a string. I create a field in dataverse that is text. I can't put the string there because of the error message mentioned above.

Hi @Geezer 

Could you please create a new post and a screenshot of your issue?

Thanks
