Internal server error when trying to update a SharePoint list item in Flow

Hi all,

I've been working on a Flow to update the name of a SharePoint list item, using the step: Send HTTP request to SharePoint.

The problem part of the flow is shown below.

Server error.jpg

I have validated the site address and URI by putting a combination of the two into Chrome. The resulting xml also provided the format of the metadata type in the body section of the step. FileLeafRef is I believe the internal SP name for 'Name'.

The error that I get - after two retries by flow - is Internal Server Error, followed by Bad Gateway.

Can anyone advise what the problem might be? The service account is set up as an owner on the SP site, and both form and flow are built in the service account.

All advice welcome!

Many thanks,

Ian

This is likely a syntax or permissions error (as most bad gateway errors are). At first glance the issue may lie in the Id parameter that you are passing into the Uri entry box.

If you could provide an expanded screenshot of your entire Flow and steps, and of any detailed error messages you're receiving we could likely better assist you. Also, for the best results, you may want to review How to write a good forum post.

Hi @IanWa ,

You should fill items() with item ID instead of File identifier, please replace Id with ID.

You can refer to this similar thread:
