I created an Instant flow. Datasource is a SharePoint list. Columns are not mandatory in SP. In the instant flow I check the box for the fields to be optional but when I fill out the fields, they still show up as mandatory.
@Anil_gI added the default value in the Instant flow field. The value appears in the field but when an end user enters info in the other fields and does not enter info in the field with the default value, he gets an error message saying "text is required" in that field.
he wpuld not see those..you need to check if the inputs are given or not..if not given then populate the default value in the field directly
cheers
@Anil_g In my datasource, Sharepoint list, I set the default value of a column to have a value. But when I use a manual flow, that default value is not in the manual flow field (however it is in the SharePoint List). So when a user triggers the manual flow, he does not see the default value. How can I change the flow to populate a field with the default value? This is an example of where I have a default value set in the SharePoint list.
When the user populates the manual triggered flow, he does not see the default value. The field is blank.
That worked!! Thank you
If we are seeing mark optional that means the field is required as of now..
we ahould see make required in option thats when the field is optional
also what do you mean defaulr value from sharepoint is not taken?
cheers
@Anil_g here is the flow
the expression is
@Anil_g I created a brand new Instant flow. Added the Create Item step in SharePoint list, then went back to the input step, made sure the field optional is checked. Saved the flow. Did a Test, and the fields were still mandatory.
Do you know why the default values in a SharePoint column are not showing up in the instant flow therefore requiring the end user to populate the field?
1. first try with readding the trigger first
2. can you check with a different new flow as a test
cheers
