How to use OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue triggerOutputs method in Compose Action

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
Hi Team,
 
I am trying to use an OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue of a field in the compose section to create a mail for the team, like this, but it's not showing any value in the mail:

 
I have tried to use the filter query also, but I am getting errors as it wants the input to be an array. I am using an OpenApiConnection to get the data and msp_plugintype@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue is present at the body of the triggerOutputs. 

 

  Please guide me how can I use the OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue in the compose field to generate the mail successfully.
 
I have the same question (1)

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for sharing the details. When using OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue in a Power Automate flow to format values for email output, it's important to ensure that the syntax and data structure are correctly handled.

     

    Here are a few suggestions:

     

    • Check the data type: The FormattedValue is typically a string, but if you're using it in a filter or condition that expects an array, you’ll need to wrap it appropriately or adjust the logic to compare strings.

    • Use expressions carefully: In your equals() condition, make sure the path to the value is correct. You might try:
      equals(triggerOutputs()?['body']?['msp_pluginrtype@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue'], 'ExpectedValue')
      

      or use outputs('Get_Plugin_Record') if referencing a previous step.

    • Debug with Compose: Add a Compose action to output the full body of the trigger or the plugin record step. This will help confirm the exact structure and whether the formatted value is present.

    • Ensure the field is populated: Sometimes the formatted value won’t appear if the original field is null or not properly retrieved.

    It looks like the formatted value is available, but the way it's being referenced is the issue.

    If you're using Get a row (Dataverse/OpenApiConnection 2048), the formatted value is usually in the action output, not directly from triggerOutputs() unless it's actually coming from the trigger.

    Try referencing it like this in your Compose action:

    outputs('Get_Plugin_Record')?['body']['msp_environment@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']
    

    or, if you're inside an Apply to each:

    items('Apply_to_each')?['msp_environment@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']
    

    A couple of other things I noticed from your screenshots:

    • Filter array expects an array as input, so it won't work against the body of a single Get a row action.

    • Make sure the property name is spelled exactly as returned in the run history (including the @OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue suffix).

    • If the expression returns blank, check the raw outputs of Get_Plugin_Record in the run history to confirm that msp_environment@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue actually exists. Some fields only return the formatted value when they contain data.

    If it still doesn't work, could you share the raw Outputs (JSON) from your Get_Plugin_Record action? That will make it much easier to determine the correct expression.
