SharePoint Update Item - modify only one column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

On updating SharePoint list item using MS Flow, can the current value be the default value?  Then, it should be easy just to modify one column which need to be updated instead of going through every single column.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    If you want to modify only one column in the sharepoint list,  you needn't going through every single column.

     

    You just need to update the special column you want to update,as well as four must input field:sharepoint site address,list name,Id , Title as screenshot below:

    I agree with @v-yuazh-msft except that you must supply values for any required column.  If you don't want to change the value of a required column, you can set it to the existing value via dynamic properties.  This assumes that you retrieve that particular record before the update (Get item).
