sharepoint update item no accepting dynamic values

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 319

Hello,

 

Sharepoint update item seems to not be working correctly.

 

The item updates if I manually type in the values in the fields.

 

If I use a formula or a compose output to insert the values, it does not update, it runs without error and the fields do not change.

 

Also, about 2 days ago I notice the update item action would not even load into a flow correctly. It had an error and could not be expanded.

 

Could this be one of those issues we just wait until the system refreshes?

    Could you provide the formula you are using for the dynamic content and some screenshots?  I'm not having any issues with update item this morning.

    While looking at the formula I found I was not accessing all the levels into the json structure correctly.

     

    This is on a execute sql query where you write your own query. There are no dynamic items for this action.

    I was using this to update the sharepoint item.

    body('employee_info')?['Table1']?['firstname']
     
    and it works without an error except there was no info displaying, the reason I was questioning.
     
    It should be this
    body('employee_info')?['ResultSets']?['Table1'][0]?['firstname']
