And finding the latest one is necessary.

Im Sure its gonna be a simple solution
 
lessOrEquals(item()?['Modified'], 5)
Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Get_Files_(Properties_only)' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'lessOrEquals' expects all of its parameters to be either integer or decimal numbers. Found invalid parameter types: 'Null'.'.

    Hi @Nutela ,

    Please check this test:

    We first get the files from the past six days and sort them in descending order according to the modified column. Then take the top one to get the most recently modified files.
