Cannot update Azure Boards user story using Flow Designer

I'm creating a Flow Designer workflow that will update an Azure Boards user story using the Azure DevOps Spoke. To my amazement, it appears that you can only enable the Additional Fields section by manually inputting a valid Work Item ID value. When I drag and drop an input data pill, the Additional Fields section remains disabled. The implication here is that this paid spoke only supports hard coded work items. Is this really how this works? Has anyone been able to use this to update the Work Item ID at runtime using a data pill?

If this is the case, then I'll need to figure how to use the Graph spoke. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

I never have used that spoke and therefore I don't know which data type the field "Work Item ID" is expecting.

But in case no data pill works you can try it with an inline script for that field. See https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-application-development/page/administer/flow-designer/co... for more information.

When I am using inline script for updating the description of Work Item. It is not returning the actual value. It is returning object. How to resolve this problem?

My script - 

find_real_file.png

Simply passing the string value but what I am receiving in the work item description is below -

Hi Jagrati,

Did you find any solution/workaround for the script the issue. I'm facing the same issue what you reported.

I am facing the same issue with the priority field. trying to set a value via the Flow script and it using the object instead.

Any update on that?
