I have a collection of parameters and I would like to create a flow that checks each value of the parameters in the collection. I think this should be possible using a loop with a collection in a flow. But how can I check each parameter name/value inside the loop?

How do I refer to the parameter within the loop?

What I would liek to do is:

Collection: param1, param2,

Create a flow => For each param check if value <> NOTSET

For each collection you need to define element parameters  which you will use later on in your flow and run the comparison action with the relevant element parameter (For comparison you can use actions such as compare to strings , extract regular expression test from string etc...)

Thanks

Jacky,

Thanks – what I don’t understand is how to refer to the parameter from within the action.

How can I compare the parameter of the collection to a value (how do I reference it in the loop)?

If I have 10 parameters in the collection, how do I refer to the parameter which is currently under evaluation?

Kind Regards,

Johan

First create collection parameter and add the relevant elements

Next your compare action should use the parameter Name

Thanks

Jacky,

You’re hardcoding the name of your parameter (named “Name”) in your action.

If in your collection element you have multiple parameters Name1, Name2, … NameX how can you loop through every parameter and check that none of them are set to “NOTSET”

without adding X actions – I want to use a real loop with just 1 action …

Kind Regards,

Johan

Johan, I think Jacky was thinking the same thing I was -- you were trying to loop through a series of collections.

Instead, you're trying to loop through each of the collection members, is that it?

I'm not sure if there is any way to do what you are trying to do.......

Why do you have it defined that way?

I would define the collection with a single parameter, (called name), then add each of the values to it in a loop, then you can check the value in a single action inside a loop the way Jacky described.

Does that make sense?

Correct, I’m trying to loop through each member (that’s what a loop should be used for right ;).

The alternative seems workable – thanks!!!

If you trying to loop on each element (collection member) you probably should use string array parameter and not collection parameter
