@item() in foreach causing error

Question

This is a screenshot of an entire pipeline... one lookup and one foreach... there is no reference to "@item" in either the lookup or as any variable or other section outside of the foreach

Yet, the following error is displaying

@item() syntax can only be used in the filter activity or child activities of a foreach activity

This is in a pipeline that has been run many times with no change between its last run on Friday afternoon and now.

All references to "@item" are within a child of the foreach (that is, grandchildren of the foreach), I would truly hope MS hasn't made a change that prevents that!!

Hi @Ryan Abbey ,

Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

It looks strange. You mentioned that in lookup or ForEach level you haven't used @item expression still getting error.

Could you please try below option and see how it goes.

If you are trying to pass @item() inside ForEach to child or Grand child. Then, kindly have @item() value set in to a variable first and then pass that variable into child or grand child of ForEach. I hope this may avoid issue. Kindly try and share updates.
