Update SharePoint folder column value from SP Column email address

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36

Hi,

I have created a flow to create a folder when a new item is created in the SP list by taking some of the value from the List Item.

There is a custom column added in a folder for email id, which needs to copy from the SP list to the folder column.

My current flow is working fine but not updating the column value in the folder library.

Currently, it's updating the folder path column but not updating the email id column added an image for reference.

 

Can someone help me how to copy the email from the SP list to the library column, please?

 

Thanks

    @sunil_stryker ,

     

    I don't think you can use Update File Properties to update folder metadata. File is an object whereas folder is a location.

    Try Update Item property instead.

    This is not the correct ID field. It should be the item Id of the folder, whereas you seem to be passing a text.

    There are two underscores before metadata

    __metadata

    @SudeepGhatakNZ, 

     

    this looks like 2 underscores but actually, we have only one underscores before metadata.

     

    still, it's getting an error and failing the flow, do we have any other option to update the value for the document library using the SP list item...?

     

    Added some snaps for reference.

    Hi Sunil,

     

    What I meant was that SP REST Schema expects two underscores, whereas you have provided just one.

    Sample below:

    { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.List' }, 
    'AllowContentTypes': true,
    'BaseTemplate': 100,
    'ContentTypesEnabled': true,
    'Description':
    'My list description',
    'Title': 'Test' }

    @SudeepGhatakNZ ,

     

    Even after adding 2 underscore still the flow getting failed with below error.

     

    The parameter __metadata does not exist in method GetById.
    clientRequestId: 7835439a-91dd-444e-913e-b76bd4d7efc2
