Send an HTTP request to SharePoint; GET method

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by

My project involves creating an audit trail that captures the previous value of an item in a SharePoint list whenever it is modified. However, when I use the GET method in the 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' action, the internal column name (e.g., Volume_x0020_Passive_x0020__x002) gets recoded into Volume_x005f_x0020_x005f_Passive_x005f_x0020_x005f__x005f_x002. This prevents me from fetching the value. Unfortunately, I can't recreate the SharePoint list with proper column names, so I need to find a way to work with the existing ones.

r/MicrosoftFlow - output from action: Get_changes_for_an_item_or_a_file_(properties_only)
output from action: Get_changes_for_an_item_or_a_file_(properties_only)
r/MicrosoftFlow - output from action: Send an HTTP request to SharePoint

    Yes, that is a known limitation/issue of these actions. 
     
    You can workaround this by using an expression to replace the underscore character with _x005f_ 
     
    Below is an example expression
     
    replace(item(),'_','_x005f_')
     
    Happy to help out 😁
