Hi, I have a Flow that is triggered when I drag a Folder into another Folder (called Submitted). The Flow will then create an item in a sharepoint list where it displays as pending and adds a link (in a hyperlink list column) and will send the folder for approval. Once all approvers take action it will update the sharepoint list with the outcome and then move the dragged folder into either an Approved or Rejected Folder. (Via action MOVE FOLDER)

I then want to be able to update the hyperlink in my list to point to the new folder because after I move the folder the hyperlink gets broken because it still points to the Submitted folder. However, when I include the action to update item it doesnt give me the dynmic option with the link of where the new folder is.

Re: Updating Hyperlink in List after I move the folder

Hi @Hardesh15 ,

When a folder is dragged into a folder called SUBMITTED it triggers the flow which creates an item inside a sharepoint list. Inside this list there is a column that gets populated with the link to the folder inside the SUBMITTED folder so that people can reference to it.

When the approver takes an action either Approve or Reject then it updates that item that was created with the outcome for that approver. I will have 3 approvers who need to action.
When all three people approve/reject, then it update a "Final Status" column in my item from Pending to Approved or Rejected.

It will then move the folder from the SUBMITTED folder to either the APPROVED or REJECTED folder, depending on the outcome.

This is when I want to update the initial item with the new LINK to the folder. The problem is that the item automatically created gets the link to the folder that points inside the submitted folder and then when i move it to an approved folder that link gets broken.

Essentially I need to be able to get the new link of the folder when it is moved from Submitted to Approved.

Thanks

I have the same issue. I move a file after approval/rejection into another folder and need an updated link to this item. Found no way yet.
