Hi @vipulj03 ,

Thank you for your sample! I was try to import the solution, however, I got the error when tried to add value to environment variables:

When I skip this step and proceed with import, I got the following message:

Solution "AppSharing" imported successfully with warnings: Flow client error returned with status code "BadRequest" and details "{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequestContent","message":"The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Could not find member 'isLicenseEntitledByRetrieved' on object of type 'SolutionFlowDefinitionRequestProperties'. Path 'activatedEntity.isLicenseEntitledByRetrieved', line 1, position 6043.'."}}".

Could you please check the source code and test solution pack on you side (try to install in a new environment), and resolve the issue I mentioned above?

Thank you!

Hi @vipulj03 ,

I've tested on another tenant and was able to import the solution. Seems the issue above occurs in some tenants.

When I tried to run the flow I got the error:

The execution of template action 'Switch' failed: The result of the evaluation of 'scope' action expression '@triggerOutputs()?['body/App_x0020_Name/Value']' is not valid. It is of type 'Null' but is expected to be a value of type 'String, Integer'.

It seems that the field reference should be without space (_x0020_). I tested and for me works this:

Could you please check this on your side?

Also I've noticed that you hardcoded app's id in the flow. That makes impossible to take the app id from another tenant. Could you please replace the hardcoded values with dynamically extracted app id?

Thank you! If any questions - please ping me.

Hi @vipulj03,

Thank you for the update!
I've checked, but the error in the flow still appears:

It seems you use AppNameNew field in the flow, but in the ReadMe file stated to create AppName fiels. Please check it and update the code.

Thank you!

Updated README file. The flow to be tested with the new column "AppNameNew".

Hi @vipulj03 ,

Thank you for updating the sample! The previous error resolved. However, I got a new one:

Could you please resolve it and update the source code?

Thank you!

Hello @Katerina-Chernevskaya - In my case, the power automate flow is executing correctly (please find below image). Hopefully, the "Users" column in the SharePoint list is marked as multiple selection=Yes (as mentioned in Readme file).
However, I have updated the solution and submitted the pull request again. Kindly have a look, thanks!

Hi @vipulj03 ,

Thank you for the update! However, another error appeared - related to the app name:

I use my app name and as mentioned earlier it's important to not hard cored its value. You fixed it - thank you! But didn't add the step for setting value for variable into Default branch:

Basically, I don't think you need this branches at all - you can just set the variable value dynamically from the info that came from SharePoint.

Could you please update the solution and I'll review it.

Thank you!

Hello @Katerina-Chernevskaya

Switch case (branches) is removed. The variable value dynamically added from the info that came from SharePoint.

I have updated the solution and submitted the pull request again. Kindly have a look, thanks!

Hi @vipulj03 ,

Thank you for the update! I made a minor change in the flow code - nested the Apply to each value into array, because this action expected array and failed until I nested the code into the array function.
I also updated the Readme file to aligned with the template.
I'm going to merge the sample. Thank you for your contribution and time!
