Hi @ranjanak ,

The watchlist stores a comma separated list.

Use the existing record (Look up record) and compute the count with inline script when setting a variable.

Add “Set flow variables” (create an Integer variable like watchlistCount) or “Update record” to store the count somewhere.
In the value for watchlistCount, click the Script icon (fx) and try below script:

Please go through below how to iterate watchlist in flow designer.

Add users to watchlist in fd
