Manage looping when dealing with multi-choice fields

When working with a multi-choice field in Power Automate, the ‘Apply to each’ action is typically used to loop through each selected option in the field. Here’s how you can use the ‘Apply to each’ action with a multi-choice field in Power Automate:

1. Start by creating a new flow and adding the trigger and any necessary actions.
2. When you get to the multi-choice field, you can use the ‘Parse JSON’ action to extract the selected options from the field. To do this, add the ‘Parse JSON’ action and configure it to use the schema of the multi-choice field.
3. Once you have parsed the JSON, you can use the ‘Apply to each’ action to loop through each selected option. Within the ‘Apply to each’ action, you can perform any necessary actions, such as sending an email or updating a record in Dynamics 365.
4. Finally, you can use the ‘Compose’ action to combine the results of each iteration into a single output. This output can be used in subsequent actions, such as sending a summary email or updating a record with the selected options.

Here’s an example of how to use the ‘Apply to each’ action with a multi-choice field:

1. Create a new flow and add the ‘When an item is created or modified’ trigger for a SharePoint list.
2. Add the ‘Parse JSON’ action and configure it to use the schema of the multi-choice field.
3. Add the ‘Apply to each’ action and configure it to loop through the selected options from the multi-choice field.
4. Within the ‘Apply to each’ action, add any necessary actions, such as sending an email or updating a record.
5. Add the ‘Compose’ action to combine the results of each iteration into a single output.
6. Finally, add any necessary actions to complete the flow, such as sending a summary email or updating a record with the selected options.

By using the ‘Apply to each’ action with a multi-choice field, you can easily loop through each selected option and perform any necessary actions.
