    Hi Dixan Thomas (Contractor) ,

    Thankyou for using Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your query here.

    As per my understanding, you are facing issue while trying to copy data from service now data store. The error says 'unexpected character encountered' .

    It seems there is some extra spaces or a new line character present in the expression or the value , possibly tablename . Kindly make sure to double check it and remove the unwanted characters.

    Additionally, kindly try to use 'add dynamic content' option to provide the expression or value instead of directly writing in the textbox.

    Hope it helps. Kindly accept the answer by clicking on Accept answer button. Thankyou
