List Collector in Flow not outputting string to String Field

[Venjamin]

I have a Flow that I'm trying to take data from. I have it just about there: I've got a process where it will read each item, and as a For Each, it will double check, compare to the user record, and create approvals. However, when all is said and done, that List Collector needs to output just the selections into the Description.

I can get it to either output the Sys_ID, or absolutely nothing into it. I've read a bunch of help files here on the community, from creating a custom action to convert the List Collector to an Array to converting the sys_id to a Display Value . I can't seem to find a place for the conversion of a sys_id to a display value in the Flow, since it's not coming from a Producer. 

I thought it would be as simple as dotwalking the list collector output to the Name, but that's where nothing seems to happen. I tried doing a lookup against the table for the sys_ID, and it DOES work in part - it's how we got the approvals to function. 

But I still can't seem to get them to produce what I need for a task. 

I'm at a loss. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I can provide any needed info, like the flow itself, etc. I can say without hesitation: I miss workflow. Lol.

Hi @Venjamin ,

Just tell me exactly where you got stuck. 

are these things you need to perform, converting sys_id to display values and outputting the List Collector selections into the Description.

Just troubleshoot where you are getting problem, update that accordingly. Make sure while working with backend values.

Yes, that's the action we need to do. 

I got stuck at the "Create a catalog task" function in the Flow. The List Collector does acknowledge the selections, and can dot walk to another reference field, but trying to dig into the "name" field of the List Collector leaves me with entirely blank values.

I'm trying to see - is there a way to set up a script directly inside the flow that just translates the given sys_id to a display value?

Hi @Venjamin , for that you have to use 'look up records' to get those all records with the sys id. after then you able to get all the fields including display name.
