Update columns value in document library

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 240

Hi,

 

My requirement is to update the column value of all the files present inside the document library.

 

I have a list where I will select what should be the column value of the files present in the document library. I will manually trigger the flow and the flow should update the existing column value of files in the library one by one.

    Can you provide a little more detail on your requirement?  You say that you have a list where you will select the column values but you also say that you'll kick the Flow off manually.  Is there only one row in the list where you set that value?

    Also, will you be updating more than one column?

    What types of columns will you be updating?

    Can you select multiple values for any of the columns?

    Hi @ScottShearer ,

     

    I have created a button in the list which will trigger the flow.

    eg: I have a list A, it has 5 items , and 3 managed metadata columns and one column is a button flow on clicking of that button the flow will trigger and it will take all the 3 values of managed meta data column with itself from the list.

    Now I have document library say B, it has 100 documents files  and same 3 managed metadata columns as in the list A .

    Now what the flow should do it should iterate through all the document files and update there columns with the values which it has taken from List A.

     

    Note: Columns are managed metadata column that means the values are selected from the term store.

    I think we have to use "send Http " action item in flow to update the values in library B.

    Let me know if you want some more elaboration on this.

    Thanks for your help!
