Posted on by Nat

Hi i am sorry for posting this i am sure the answer is simple but i just cant figure it out.

I have a flow that

When a File is created it Starts an approval. if the approval is approved it creates a file in sharepoint library. I have just noticed if the file names are the same the file overwrites the original file, so i need to add a datetime to the filename.

thanks in advance

Hi @Nat
You can use a concat function in Filename fields of create file action, example:

concat(formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd'), <File Name>)

Hi @Nat,

When you input function, you should add the "@" tag before the expression or enter them in the Expression on the right box, for example:
