Change "Last modified date" with flow

Posted on by PrzemekKP

Hi!

I'm trying to create a flow that will allow me to change file's "last modified date" property after joining to file library. I want to change the date to a day when a file was created or transferred to the library.

So I think that "when a file is created" should be a trigger for the flow but I have no idea what to do next.

I'll be grateful for help.

The Modified Date is set by the system and the only way to override that is to use an HTTP REST call. Here's an article that explains how to do it.

Looks like this method no longer works. I am able to edit other fields using this method, and don't get an error when trying to set the Modified column, but, it doesn't actually work. the modified date shows the time that I attempted to update the Modified column. 😞
