Hi,

I'm trying to create a new SharePoint list item, where i need it to have a Custom Content type as this dictates some other processes in the flow such as creating some some folders etc. The issue i've found is that on the create Item connector, i can only set the Content-Type ID, which i can't seem to retrieve from anywhere, when I try just using the Content-Type name such as All - Large Event the flow times out and fails, is there a way to retrieve the list of content types and their IDS, and then set a condition to match them and populate the correct ID?

Thanks

Hi @mousman85 ,

What is the type of the Content-Type column?

Could you please share the screenshot of the configuration of your flow and explain more details about the issue?

Best Regards,

The Content_Type coloumn displays the name of the selected content_Type from the item that is created. Below is the screenshots, the content type in the flow will let me pick from list, but when i try to populate this from an incoming variable, it fails as it looks like its expecting an ID and not the text string.

Hi @mousman85 ,

You could take a try with dynamic content of the Content type id or Content type Value.
