Unable to move folder in Document Library to another folder

Posted on by SKasai-UC

I am trying to have a scheduled recurring Power Automate task, to check a Document Library to see if a folder has been created there.

If it is, to move that Folder into another folder.

However, I am getting a BadRequest intially, then subsequent attempts, I get:

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Apply_to_each_2' at line '1' and column '13219': 'The template language expression 'body('List_folder')?['body']' cannot be evaluated because property 'body' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an integer index. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

From what I can tell, the List Folder for the document library lists also the Forms and is causing the problem, so I don't know how I can get around it when the main focus is to move created folders and its contents.

Main purpose - Document Library is created to be an 'Upload Only' folder, to capture items being sent there, then moved to another folder. Doing When file is created only works on files, but not on a folder with content items.

Hello @SKasai-UC,

The Error Message - Array elements can only be selected using an integer index.

With reference to error it seems that Apply to loop(array returned by List files in Folder) has only 1 or less items.

Well, from the results I was looking at and the Power Automate I was using as 'List folders'. Now I have done this before with a normal folder in Sharepoint within a Document Library where it didn't error out, but this is at the root of a Document Library (The document library itself) and it did have 1 folder in the the document library I put in.

The listing had 'Forms' and 'Test', but died immediately when it saw 'Forms'.

I would agree, as I did this process with a Folder within a Document Library, however, at the actual Document Library, the system kept giving me errors and it was tripping over the 'Forms' part.
