Sharepoint Get File Content fails with incomprehensible error message!!!

Posted on by 250

CONTEXT:  Connection to Sharepoint site did not change.  For same account, Form was moved from My Files/ to the Documents/Apps/Microsoft Forms/form_name_folder/Question  folder.  Question/ folder was renamed.  

 

Get File Content action file identifier was adjusted accordingly. FYI it is a dynamic expression that retrieves the name of a file attachment from the Form itself. 

 

 

encodeUriComponent(concat('/Shared Documents/Apps/Microsoft Forms/FORM_NAME/RENAMED_QUESTION_FOLDER/', body('107Parse_JSON_object_in_attachment_obj_array')?['name']))

 

 

Already used this pattern in another flow and it works perfectly, therefore should work for this flow as well as the whole flow structure is very similar, only the number of Form fields and their semantics change from one flow to the other.

 

ISSUE:  Once the dynamic expression is updated in the Get File Content action, I click Save and get the following error message:

For the love of God! Can someone please explain what this gibberish means???  And why does it even occur?  Is this Microsoft cloud ecosystem really that brittle that if you rename or move 1 thing, everything breaks??

I have the same question (0)
