Creating a Flow Output Dropdown List

Overview

3. Select the End step. In the Properties panel  under Data > Pick From Current Data, select GetAll_Output.
4. Save and close the Flow Designer. This Flow will gather the list of accounts to display in the dropdown list.

7. In the Form Designer, drag and drop a Button and the Drop Down List onto the Form.
8. Open the Dropdown list's Properties > Input Data section. For Type, select Account.  Specify Display Field as 'EmailAddress'.
   
   Change the List Input Source to Flow. Specify Flow Output DataName as the GetAll's output name. By default, this is 'GetAll_Output',
   
   Select PICK FLOW ID and select the previously made 'Get All Accounts Flow'. 
9. In the Output Data section, select Output only. Rename Selected Item(s) Data Name to "Selected Email".
