Getting the following error:
The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@body('Parse_JSON')?['body']?['value']' is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array.
The output of the "Parse_JSON" action has data and is below (data has been scrubbed), as is the schema used in the Parse_JSON action. Below is a screen shot of my flow, Any ideas?

Got it solved.
When using the flow editor, adding a "set variable" step automatically wraps the action in an "apply to each" step, using body('Parse JSON')?['body']?['value'] as the output to use. Using the expression editor to change this to body('Parse JSON')?['value'] solves this problem. Example screen shots below.
Requiring the author to make this change feels like a bug, as it defeats the purpose of using a no-code tool.
Looking at some other related posts, it may be a result of the JSON having an array named "value" within the "body." If so...it's definitely a bug.
Fails (which is the default):
