Flow - Multi-selection list of options for input text
Hi,
I would like the user to be able to choose between different options when launching a workflow done in flow, but the 'input text, multi-selection list of options' doesn't work.
I can add it but as soon as I save and close the workflow, the input text is back to a normal input text.
Does anybody have a solution?
Regards,
Géraldine

I tested this against a SharePoint list in my environment using a SharePoint "for a selected item" trigger, using a multi-select Text option. I set the trigger, saved, closed, reopened and it was still set to be a multi-select text option. I also tested using the manually started trigger. What is the rest of your Flow like and what trigger are you using? I have noticed sometimes Flow is flaky, I try to do something one day and its not working right, I do the same thing the next day and its fine. Have you tried again and still see the same behavior?
The comments about using JOIN or a condition was just about evaluating the output to determine what options the user starting the Flow chose.
Be sure to check out the Microsoft Flow Community!

Geraldine007 have you seen this document? There is a section on multi-select - https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/rich-approvals-text-and-multiselect/.
You need to create an input text trigger that has your multiple select options, and then have the result of that input fed to the second step in the flow.
NHelgren , hi.
Thanks for the link to the post, but I want to use the multi-selection option in a trigger "For a selected item".
I can add it but as soon as I save and close the flow, when I open again the flow, the input text has been converted back to a standard input text.
Maybe I'm missing some parameters?
