Create Item Double Item

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by firda59 372

Hello, 

 

I have flow like this:

firda59_0-1696494548351.png

length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])
firda59_1-1696494661183.png

 

 
every 5 minute, the item in sharepoint list will update automatically. I want, when 'Order' already in that SP List, then the flow doesnot have to create item again. But current condition, my flow will run every 5 minutes, and create new item for all item, eventhough the 'Order' already written in that SP List.
 
Can anyone check what is wrong with my flow? thankyou!

    Looks like:
    a) Either the filter query on your 'Get items' action block is not working as you expect, i.e. even the SP Column Display Name is 'Order', its internal column name is different, or
    b) Your SP list has more than 5000 items, and 'Order' column is not properly indexed

    For case a), you will find great stuff here:

    For case b), you will find good advise here:

    Hope this helps
