Hi @jitendrasingh,

As far as I am aware every modification to a file in OneDrive for Business will result in a new major version of the file.

So, it should be sufficient to use the When a file is modified (properties only) trigger action in your flow:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/onedriveforbusiness/#when-a-file-is-modified-(properties-only)

Hope this helps a bit?

Hi @Expiscornovus
the flow you mentioned triggers action on when file is created as well as when file is modified (New Version). I need a flow which will trigger only when file is modified and not when file is created.

Hi @jitendrasingh,

Are you sure? Isn't it just the 2.0 version of the newly created file (which is a modification?) As far as I am aware that action only triggers when a file is modified.

For the create event Microsoft has a different trigger action called:

Hi @Expiscornovus

Yes I am sure.. I tested many times... It not only triggers for modification (version 2.0 or later) of file but also for creation of file .. You can test the same

Hi @jitendrasingh,

I also tried reproducing this and I am unable to. For me it only triggers when modifying the file, starting from the 2.0 version of a file.

Can you share some screenshots of your setup and your flow history. Let me see if I can reproduce it with your setup.

Hi @jitendrasingh,

Thanks for sharing your setup. Looks pretty similar to mine.

Another validation question. How are you testing? Are you uploading a file or are you creating it via the new button?

And if you are using the second testing scenario are you renaming the file?

I was doing the same thing in my tests and also triggered the flow. Because the renaming action will create a second version of the file, which makes it seem like it is triggering for a newly created file.

Hi @Expiscornovus
I am uploading the file with same name & it is updated as new version.
The flow triggers when new file is uploaded as well as when new version of same file is uploaded.
I want flow to run only when new version is uploaded (Version 2.0 onwards) and not on Version 1.0

Hi @jitendrasingh,

Thanks for sharing. With an upload I am also able to reproduce this behaviour.

I think we can use the Etag and use the second part of that to retrieve at the version. We can use a greaterorequals to make sure it is at least 2.0.

Can you add the following expression as a trigger condition to your action?

@greaterOrEquals(replace(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/ETag'], ',')[1], '"', ''), '2')
