A potentially dangerous Request Error - SharePoint item created

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

Hi all,

 

I am trying to set-up a very simple Flow using a SharePoint 'When an item is created' trigger. I put in the Site Address, which then allows me to choose the List Name I want. When I click 'Test', it says 'Flow run failed' on the top left corner and the error itself is a 'Bad Request'.

 

Under 'Outputs', I see the following error:

{
"status": 400,
  "message": "A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&).\r\nclientRequestId: 8962a0e5-e513-4ef7-9366-bd8f264932e0\r\nserviceRequestId: dde8fa9e-1bf0-8097-55d5-ff5411afa066;dde8fa9e-dbfa-8097-55d5-f019df90ed1c;dee8fa9e-8b09-8097-55d5-fec17b6189b9;dee8fa9e-bb1a-8097-55d5-f8ade315db8a;dee8fa9e-db25-8097-55d5-f9284282d1dc;dee8fa9e-7b34-8097-55d5-f72a6e08cfad",
  "source": "",
  "errors": []
}
 
I can successfully run tests and successful flow runs on another List within the subsite, but this specific list is causing me issues.
 
Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi @ogcmstech 

     

    Is there any special character in your list name or in the site url by any chance

    Yes, the list name itself has the & symbol.

    Hi @ogcmstech 

     

    That could be the reason (its just warning I guess for a dangerous url)

     

    Can you just try with a simple list and see if you get the error?

    Hey!

     

    I switched the & in the list name to 'and' and the test ran!

     

    Another thing then... I added a 'Send an email' action to the flow. When I receive the notification, it always says <end> at the end, but isn't visible in the actual email of the body.

     

    Any thoughts?

     

    Thanks.

    Reza,

     

    I've the same error. What I want to do is to list all the folders, nested folders, and files in an url from onedirve in power apps.
    But it seems, that power apps doesn´t conect to ondrive like sharepoint. So, in another post a user had the same challenge and the solution that was proposed is to do a flow to get the list of items and then send the items to power apps (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/List-Files-in-a-Folder-in-OneDrive/td-p/440548).

    When running the flow, I get the error 401: A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (?). The URL from the folder of one drive has a question mark; I've 2 doubts:
    1. How should I change the question mark to get acces to the folder?
    2. Is there any other way to get all the files of OneDrive in PowerApps?

     

    Allways your youtube subscriber (lol!),
