Hi everybody,

I have created an Approval flow which worked pretty well, until I had to update a document.

In my flow I have used 3 actions with Set Content Approval Status:

for setting the Approval status to: Pending
for setting the Approval status to: Approved
for setting the Approval status to: Rejected

For all 3 I have used the ETag from "Get file metadata"

Steps:

Update the document in SharePoint
Start the approval flow
The approver recieve an approval email and approves the document.

Expected result:

The file should have Approval status: Approved

Present result:

The flow fails because of the error: 409 "message": "{\"Etag\":\"\\\"{937EEAFB-5AB0-4C6A-A642-FB0563D19680},4\\\"\",\"Message\":\"The ETag of this item does not match the one used for setting content approval status. The contents of the item may have changed before the action was completed.\",\"Succeeded\":false,\"ApprovalErrorCode\":\"etagMismatch\",\"ApprovalLink\ .......etag=%22%7b937EEAFB-5AB0-4C6A-A642-FB0563D19680%7d%2c4%22\"}\r\nclientRequestId: 57e3f5ec-88f7-4796-bae7-99cfca8f6101\r\nserviceRequestId: 945bcf9e-0011-8000-e544-6cd3f699cba3

Re: ETag mismatch error

Hi @claudia ,

Could you please share a full screenshot of your flow's configuration?

As the error message shown, 'The ETag of this item does not match the one used for setting content approval status.'

I think there are some mistakes with the setting of this acton.
