Power Automate archive SharePoint list column changed

I have a power automate flow to archive List A to an identical List B monthly.  The flow go through steps of

Get items - Apply to each (Create item - Delete item)

Some Columns changed their names after Get items step, therefore I can't map columns in the Create item step.

While most columns passed through properly, here are problem columns:

In the list A I have these columns:

StaffName (people)

Manager (people)

State (Choice)

When I try to map columns at the Create item step, they turned into following Columns:

StaffName Claims

Manager Claims

State Value

In the troubleshooting step, I deleted column of "StaffName" and "State" from the destination List B.  I recreated two new columns "Staff" and "State".  When I add the create item step, the previously "StaffName Claims" changed to "Staff Claims".

The problem is "Staff Claims" can't be mapped to any Get items outputs on the right (in screenshots).

Can someone help.

Thanks in advance.

    You need to check the internal name of the StaffName column in the list where the item is being created. When you have a person column you always have the Claims and other attributes because it is a complex column with quite a lot of info in it, not just text.
