Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am trying to update a field named sync status in the sharepoint list using the invoke web service action, but it seems that new item is created instead of updating the existing item. Here i used the post method just like we use in the power automate web application. Please help me to solve this.

Hi @Anonymous

Could you try PATCH instead of Post method by changing the option in highlighted field below ?

Hi @Anonymous

Already you are making a filter to the Inspection ID, So I believe it is not required again in the Request body
only SyncStatus is required

Hi @Srini007 ,
I have tried it too but now it creates a list item that contains only the sync status value and not updating the existing sync status value.

Thanks for the reply 💙, I really appreciate it

this work for me. in this example i update the field "textfeld1" with the value "werteupdate" and the field "auswahl" with the value "auswahl2"
items(6) ... 6 is the ID
the square bracket at the end is unfortunately not visible on the screenshot

you dont need x-http-method and if-match with this solution

and turn of „encode request body“
