@Abhishek Singh Thanks for reaching out. As per the error it looks like you are setting the Set variable appId value to your appId variable. You cannot self-assign the value of the same variable for which you are setting the value.

The below is not supported as you can see, I have defined the variable test and in the next action I have tried to set the value of test variable to test itself.

I am getting this as well :

{
"message": "Invalid type. Expected String but got Null.",
"lineNumber": 0,
"linePosition": 0,
"path": "value[4].passwordCredentials[0].displayName",
"schemaId": "#/properties/value/items/properties/passwordCredentials/items/properties/displayName",
"errorType": "type",
"childErrors": []
},

@Abhishek Singh As per the error make sure to validate whether value[4].passwordCredentials[0] or value[4].passwordCredentials[0].displayName exists. Make sure to write condition to handle it. It looks like the object/value is null and when you are trying to assign the value it should always be the string value.
