Power Automate "Add Attachment" to SP list action cannot handle large files

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello,

My scenario is I have a "buffer" SP List the comes from migration process and I need to transfer/copy the list items to another list (where I have lookup columns etc.)

I have created a flow that works great for all columns and data types implementing the lookups and all, but when I try to transfer the attachments I get an error incase there is a large file:

 

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Add_attachment' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'body' cannot be used when the referenced action outputs body has large aggregated partial content. Actions with large aggregated partial content can only be referenced by actions that support chunked transfer mode.'.

 

It seems that unlike "Create Attachment" for SP Library, the "Add Attachment" for SP List is not having the "Allow chunking" option in the settings and it cannot handle large files.

 

Any suggestion how can I tackle this?

 

Thanks

    Thanks David,
    The link you refer to holds good info, alas it did not help me.
    Share Point HTTP connector does not have the "Allow Chuncking" properties, and I did not succeed with connecting to SP with the Premium HTTP connector - don't know how to authenticate...
    maybe you can write an answer with example code/flow?
    I don't find any actual solutions anywhere
    Thanks
