help with syntax and variable

[karolm]

I am currently inside the apply to each control where i need to compose something...

this work  expression works - startsWith(outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body/email/Claims'],'i:0#.f')

but I need to point to some variable (using instant flow, so that is my input manually provided by user each time - email)

I created variable for it called varREV but in the final expression there is some error and I cannot save it

startsWith(outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body/variables('varREV')/Claims'],'i:0#.f')

I am really bad at that, probably there is some ' or another "" missing :(((

Hi @karolm ,

Please try:

startsWith(outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body']['Editor']['Claims'],'i:0#.f')

Thanks! There is so progress! I added 

startsWith(outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body']['Rev#Claims']['Claims'],'i:0#.f')

I was not aware that Rev#Claims stands for varREV.

But there is another error on that stage - The variable 'varREV' of type 'Integer' cannot be initialized or updated with value of type 'String'. The variable 'varREV' only supports values of types 'Integer'.

And I already changed that - I am initiating variable as a integer

In the screenshot there is example why I am doing it - I would like list group members from that Reviewer field in the flow in order to sent separate approvals for them - it works fine in automated flow, but in instant with manual input I have got this issue.

Hi @karolm ,

The error message suggests that you initialized the variable varREV with a string instead of an integer. It is recommended to modify the related action accordingly.

Additionally, if you want to replace "Rev#Claims" with a variable, it could be done like this.

startsWith(outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body'][variables('varREV')]['Claims'],'i:0#.f')

As you can see there is issue on the start with it...

As you can see there is error on the start, not going further as before...

Hi @karolm ,

If Reviewer is a string type value, please set the variable varREV to be of type String.

In general I would like to create something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI2mgq04GWU but on instant flow - where user manually adds o365 group - screenshot. From this field I need to use variable ( I am interested to get all of the members in order to send them approvals by mail and teams) - but somehow I am not able to do that. Works fine in automated flow where I have got example from yt.
