    Hello,

    I can't get the information set in Dynamics when it comes to a set option type field. I added a custom field in Dynamics called Civility which is an Option set containing different options : Mr, Mrs, Doctor .... I can only retrieve the integer value but not the label.

    In the request in JSON, I'm limited to the primitive types : string, integer, null, boolean.

    any ideas to how to get the string value Mr, Mrs.. ?

    Yours

    Hi charaf_ed,

    You can get the meaning of the integer by using the RetrieveOptionSet or RetrieveAllOptionSets APIs:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/webapi/create-update-optionsets

    If you expect the list of values to be stable you could look up the mappings for that option set and then create a switch action in architect to do the conversions like 4 -> "Doctor".

    I have never used this Dynamics API, so I am not sure how difficult it would be to retrieve the option set and find the right value on the fly.
