I'm new to Power Automate but I'm wondering if it's possible to build a flow to update the Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Opening Documents in the Browser > from "Use the server default (Open in browser)" to "Open in the client application".
I'm hoping maybe this can be done using the action 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' and someone might have a screenshot of how to go about building this flow? Thanks!
You can create a PnP template of a library and then use that template to provision other libraries.
I have used the Plumsail action to achieve this in the past.
I am not aware if you can set that property using REST.
@SudeepGhatakNZ I don't have access to run PowerShell commands in my organisation.
But I'd like the flexibility to run this for a single library, for all the libraries in a SharePoint site but also add it to my document library creation flow so that I can change this setting when the document library is first created if desired.
Since you would change this just once, why don't you use Powershell?

Flow is generally be used for repetitive tasks.
@v-xiaochen-msft you were so helpful with an earlier question I had about updating library settings that I hope it's okay to tag you on this post.
