We have a sharepoint list which have 33,000 items. and we want to archive some items. so i saved the current list without content as template >> create a new list from the template so this new list will act as the achieved list .

but seems power automate does not provide any action to move list items? am i correct? and is there a way to move list items between lists?

Thanks

I don't think Power Automate or SharePoint thinks of Moving items in a list. I think it only Creates, Updates, Deletes items. Probably because each item in a list is a unique item within that list due to the ID.

However, when dealing with Files and Folders, they can be Moved since a file will have a uniqueId and properties which can be shifted around in the same or different libraries.

I know SP Lists and Libraries are like the same thing, but I guess they don't think there is a functional need to Move an item since you would basically be creating a new item in a list.
