Word - Repeating Content Control - Nightmare/Help!
Its suppose to be a simple process/tasks - I cannot make it work. Here is what I am trying to do.
- I have created a Word Document - Office 365. Document has few Plain Control Text Fields and 2 Repeating Repeating Section Content Control i.e Projects & Timesheets. Timesheets is nested in Projects.
- I am passing JSON from Power Automate. JSON structure matches Plain Control Text Fields title and tag name as well as tag and name for Repeating Section Content Controls.
- Word is writing the write value for Plain Control Text Fields (2) that are outside of Repeating Section Content Control Fields, but not repeating nor adding to any Plain Control Text Fields.
- Below is image of a Word Document file in Design Mode showing all the Plaint Text Fields & Repeating Sections.
- {"Projects": [
{
"Project": "ACME Project",
"ProjectID": "41",
"ProjectDescription": "Analysis & Design",
"Timesheets": [
{
"Date": "2025-04-27",
"Hours": "8",
"Description": "Worked On Designing & Drawing",
"Day": "Sunday",
"OT": "No",
"Billable": "Yes"
}
]
}
]}
However Word template is not applying this JSON and nothing is written to the doc.
Help is appreciated!

How about trying the Power Automate only to verify JSON? for the WORD, may extra care on mismatch with JSON format since it will ignore the data, but also the nested repeating sections.
