I'm making a flow for a catalog item that has a list collector variable that collects users. I want to list the users from the list collector variable in the description of a task. If I take the list collector data pill and insert it into the task description like so:
It comes out looking like this:
Does anyone know a way to get the values from the list collector and display them as names instead of sys ids?

Hi @Abbottronix
There are two ways you can achieve this.
Either, you can use the foreach flow logic, to iterate through the list collector of the users that you have and Lookup the user table and fetch the user name and store that in the flow variable, and pass that along in the description.
OR, you can simply use the script editor for the description filed, and iterate through the list collector and glide the user table to get the names of the user, and set the string value for the description.
