Unable to Update Input Field in Work Queue (Power Automate Desktop)

Posted on by

I am facing an issue while trying to update the Input field of a Work Queue item in Power Automate Desktop. I am NOT updating the Processing Notes, but still getting the following error:

"Updating work queue item values is not permitted for this queue. To enable this feature, please adjust the work queue settings under Work Queues in the Power Automate portal."

@@'InputSummaryValue:WORKQUEUE': 'Test'
LOOP WHILE (WorkQueues.ProcessWorkQueueItem.ProcessWorkQueueItemOverrideRetry WorkQueue: $'''5e61d76b-08d8-ef11-8eea-6045bd94c423''' MaxRetryCount: 1 WorkQueueItem=> WorkQueueItem)
    Variables.ConvertJsonToCustomObject Json: WorkQueueItem.Value CustomObject=> TransactionItem
    SET TransactionItem['FileName'] TO $'''123-PDF'''
    Variables.ConvertCustomObjectToJson CustomObject: TransactionItem Json=> CustomObjectAsJson
    WorkQueues.UpdateWorkQueueItem.UpdateAndClearProcessingNotes WorkQueueItem: WorkQueueItem Status: WorkQueues.WorkQueueItemStatus.Unchanged InputValue: TransactionItem
END

 

{
    "FileName": "Test-PDF",
    "SNo": "2",
    "FileNumber": "009789009"
}

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

✔ Checked that I am only modifying the Input field, not Processing Notes.
✔ Tried different approaches to update the FileName field.

Questions:

  1. Do I need to enable any specific settings in Power Automate Work Queue to allow updating Input fields?
  2. Is there any workaround to update an existing Work Queue item without facing this restriction?

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
