Help with Update Item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 76

Hi - I have a flow which creates an item in a SharePoint list and then is supposed to update it after an approval is answered by each recipient.  The item creation works fine but not the item update.  The flow also updates the same information on an excel spreadsheet and that function works for both for adding a row to a table and updating the row.

 

Create Item and Get Item work as expected:

I added a step to send a message with the ID and verified it matches the ID of the new item in the SharePoint list that was previously created by the flow.

Then I Get items and using an Apply to Each (for each recipient) the flow updates the row previously created in the spreadsheet (successfully), but does not update the Item in the SharePoint List. Note that I set the ID equal to the Get Item ID which matches the value I see on the SharePoint list.

What am I missing?  Why isn't this updating?

    Try passing it the ID that comes back from your GetItem call instead.

    But won't that update ALL items on the SharePoint list?

    Hi @JT-1964 
    If you believe the SharePoint ID you're attempting to update is correct and no errors have occurred, I suggest ensuring that versioning is enabled and run the flow.
    Once the run succeeds, check the version history of the target item to see if the value has been overwritten.

    I hope this information is helpful. If it is, please consider giving a thumbs up 👍.

    Best regards,
