Error "Text filter requires a scalar value" when looping through array

sampannemans

I want to loop through an array of teams:

["Sales",

"Management"]

For each item in the array, I want to create a new team in my Team table. However I can't seem to get to the team name when creating the teams.

When I refer only to the item in the array, I get an error "Text filter requires a scalar value".

I've already tried a different way by adding a filter 'first'. Then I don't get the error and the two teams are created however the name of the team is empty because there is no text coming from the arry item…

How can I get to the text value of each item in this simple array?

Thank you for your valuable insights!

Hi there,

The variable teamItem is an object with the record with all the fields/path. What you want is only one path, which is the name. So, you just have to assign the value teamItem.name as the input name.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for your feedback!

However the array is actually just a list of text strings (not objects).

So I can't target teamItem.namebecause teamItem does not have a path "name".

How should I approach this?

Thanks again so much!

I see. I saw the input as an 'object' type, and I jumped to conclusions. Just modify the input from object to text and as a list, and it should work.

So simple, yet so brilliant!
