Update a row in Power Automate with name rather than value

Posted on by dsammied

Hi 

I need to be able to 'update a row' in power automate with the name (fullname) of the system user rather than the GUID, as for some reason these are different in the other environments. That is to update the 'Owner' of the entity form with a User, so the system is looking for the name rather than the guid. i.e Sarah Willis

    Hi dsammied,

    No. However, you could list all User rows whose name equal Sarah Willis. Then update the row. Please follow the steps:

    1. List all rows whose name equal the Sarah Willis

    2. Check the length is 1 or not.

    3.If yes,  then update your row. Owner's expression:  concat('systemusers(',first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value']).systemuserid,')')
