Hi Team,

Need assistance on flow designer side.

I have a list field referencing to table. I am trying to use that variable in a teams message, but in data pill picker that variable is not expandable to select its NAME. I tried to the concept of "Set Flow Variables", but no success.

 

Any ideas?

Field Name : Impacted Office

Field Type : List  -> referencing to "core_company" with reference qual : type -> legal entity

-------------------------------------

I have a flow designer which post message on teams group when Button is click on Incident form.

Now i have to add this "Impacted Office" in that message and Directly picked up from data pill picker and added, but it throws "sys_id" instead of name.

 

and I am unable to select the "NAME" of the impacted office via dot walk as there is no option of dot walk available

Hi @DKSINGH ,

 

There is some limilation here, what you can do is you can make use of 2 things...

 

1. Do a lookup record action and use data pill picked to display name.

2. Use script to query the record with sys_id and use getDisplayValue() to show the name.
