Quickly add approval workflows to any list or library in Microsoft 365

Hi, I’ve recently been working on a Power Automate flow connected to a SharePoint list, and I came across several challenges that I’m glad to see are now being addressed in the latest updates.

One of the main issues I faced was trying to extract the name or email from a person-type lookup column. I was never able to retrieve the value properly to use it in notifications or approvals.

Additionally, I struggled to extract plain text from a multi-select choice column. Instead of returning simple values, the system provided complex objects, which made it harder to convert them into a usable string for emails or conditions.

It's great to see that these processes are being simplified. I'm excited to test out these improvements.
