Hi Guys,
Am facing an issue with copying values from list collector variable to string field in a custom table.
I have a list collector variable referring to user table in one of the catalog item. end user can select more than one user in it. After submitting the catalog item based on approvals these multiple users from list collector variable will need to added to string field of a custom table.
In the flow designer i used getvariables and then used inputs in update record. When it is only one record its getting copied but then its multiple records, its not getting copied in the string field.
Please suggest

Okay, here you go, a simple example on how you can set the data within the Flow.

First an overview on how it's done, then I've provided some details on the steps in the flow for explanation.

Hi,

I'm having trouble understanding your issue, could you provide some screen shots explaining the issue, and what results you expect in the string field?

So you want to add the display values (names) of the selected users into the string field "Business owner" on the Computer record.

I would do it within the Flow.

First do a lookup of records from the input of the catalog variable.

Then loop through all the records, and store the data in a Flow variable.
Finally, set the data of the Flow variable as input in the string field.

Do you need an example?

Yes please
