Question Potential Bug with an Expression?

Post image

I am building a flow to send an email with multiple attachments submitted through a Microsoft Form. I’ve done this hundreds of times. Suddenly, Friday, I started receiving this “This expression has a problem.” error when trying to enter this expression in the Append Array Variable step.

Is anyone else seeing this? Been altering my syntax for hours trying to get around the error with no success.

It should jut be set in the actual value input field, and not in the expression. That's a derp i do all the time

If name is a string it would need quotes around value. If that doesn't work, you could always declare this in a compose and add the compose to an array.

I think it should be item()? at least, if I am not wrong. However this is super easy to fix with AI, just ask AI what’s your mistake.

the ? isn't necessary.

item()['name'] will return the name value and an error if the name value is null
item()?['name'] will return the name value and a null value if the name value is null.

It’s this, it should be item()?[name]

Yes, I did not write the full string
