Compare column names in SP list and library

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 497

I have a Powerapp used to enter evaluations.  When the user enters an evaluation, a Flow is set to create a folder in a SP library and that folder is named the same as the list item.  Once the folder is created, the link to the folder is written back to the list item.  Because I haven't been able to figure out how to change the name of the folder if the name of the list item is changed, the user cannot edit the list item fileName.  If they fat finger the fileName entry, they must delete and create a new entry. 

So, to my question, there will be times when they have deleted list item but not the folder that corresponds.  Is there a way to write a flow report that will compare the two fileName columns and highlight items that do not have a match so we can go back and manually delete the folders where the list item had been deleted?

    Hi @tianaranjo,

     

    Could you please share a bit more about the evaluations that you mentioned?

    Could you please share a screesshot of your flow's configuration?

    How do you create a folder within your SharePoint library?

    Further, could you please show a bit more about the list item which mentioned as below?

    If you could provide more details about your scenario, I would provide a proper solution for you.
