I need to import data from Sharepoint online list using Azure Data Factory in SQL Azure DB. The share point online list contained a fields of Lookup type, with options "Allow Multiple Values" ON.
I use Azure Data Factory as tool to copy data from SP to Azure SQL DB. If field is a normal lookup field, i have no problem and i import his value. If field is a lookup field with options "Allow Multiple Values" ON, i have problem and i don't see the field in mapping, so i can't import. I search in documentation but i don't find nothing to highlight this case.

Is there a way to import SP lookup field with options "Allow Multiple Values" ON with Azure Data Factory?

    The official document mentions that Azure Data Factory can copy the data of the SharePoint Online look up column, but it does not mention how to copy the multiple value look up column.

    Anyone who can solve this problem?
