How to PUT/PATCH custom content-type for items in a list using HTTPs Request in Flow?

Hello, 

 

after a full day of searching the web, i havent found a solution that fits my problem well enough (or where i am skilled enough to transfer the information).

The flow is supposed to copy items from one directory to the other, since on of them is a libary and the other one is a list where the simple "Copy Item" or "Copy File" actions etc. are not working, therefore im using a HTTP Request which looks like this:

Body:

 

 

 

{
 "listItemCreateInfo": {
 "FolderPath": {
 "DecodedUrl": "https://mytenant/Lists/Mitarbeiter/someguy@test.com/2023"
 },
 "UnderlyingObjectType": 0
 },
 "formValues": [
 {
 "FieldName": "Title",
 "FieldValue": "TEST_POST"
 },
 {
 "FieldName": "MyCustomContent",
 "FieldValue": {
 "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedTaxonomy",
 "TermGuid": "152122ef-123123123123123",
 "WssId": 18,
 "Label": "18",
 "Value": "18|152122ef-123123123123123"
 }
 }
 ],
 "bNewDocumentUpdate": false
}

 

 

 

 

This is the error i get: 

{ "status": 400, "message": "An unexpected 'StartObject' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'PrimitiveValue' node was expected.\r\nclientRequestId: 785a8579-2305-493b-9da2-516261\r\nserviceRequestId: f854f7a0-2002-7000-cb62-919816512", "source": "https://mytenant.com/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Mitarbeiter')/AddValidateUpdateItemUsingPath", "errors": [ "-1", "Microsoft.Data.OData.ODataException" ] }

 

 

There must be a way to specify "My CustomContet" more, it comes from the list, i only want to use existing content types, since im "Just" copying the items into the same list but other folders.

 

Long story short: How can i add specific content types that are already existing in a list with HTTP Request?

 

Thank you all!

    Hi, 

     

    i came a little bit further now, at least i can formulate the problem better.

     

    What i have is a taxonomy field that needs to be added/created within the item but when i use "ValdiatethroughPath" it only allows me to use Strings as values. 

     

    Also eventho my flow almost works, i have everything except that taxonomy field. The HTTP request keeps running forever, it creates the item but just keeps on going.
