Copy File options don't seem to be working

I have a flow to copy files from one library to another, triggered when a scanner uploads some new documents.

The flow checks to see if the target folder exists and if it does it copies the files into it, if it doesnt then it copies the whole folder afresh,

The problem is, if there are already files in the target folder with the same name then the copy fails, depsite me clearly selecting the option "Copy with a new name"

I get an error message telling me the file already exists

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: A file with the name /sites/PoundlandDev/devlib/010001/Doc2.docx already exists. It was last modified by i:0#.f|membership|admin@m365x364456.onmi on 08 Feb 2022 11:46:42 -0000. --->

Does this feature simply not work or am I missing something?

Re: Copy File options don't seem to be working

Hello, I have exactly the same issue. Whatever option I choose in the "If another file is already there", it keeps failing if another file with the same name already exists in the destination...
