Update sharepoint list using invoke web services action in pad

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.

    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“

    Hi @Srini007 ,

    Yes @Nived_Nambiar , I tried patch method but it showed an error massage that sharepoint List collection item will not support the patch and put methods.

     

    Thanks for the reply đź’™

    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 @Anonymous 

     

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