Hi,
I am running into some problems when creating an approval flow. My setup is pretty basic: For a selected item in a SharePoint library I manually trigger my approval flow. When the person to whom the approval is assigned to has reacted (either Approved or Rejected the document) two things happen:
- An email is send to the person initiating the flow saying that the document has been either approved or rejected
- The file properties in the SharePoint library are being updated with the Comments and Approver name (I've added a column for both values).
The approval flow itself runs without problems. The only problem I am facing is the fact that sometimes the Flow fails because the approver has checked out the document. This results in a failed flow. The failure summary states that the "Action 'Update file properties' failed", with error details: the file (file location) is locked for shared use by (the approvers email address).
How can I avoid this? I want to make sure that the fields in my SharePoint library always get updated with the Approvers name and their Comments, even when the document is (involuntarily) checked out by the approver.
Thanks in advance!
