Get files (properties only) not searching large document library

Hi All,

 

I have been developing a Site to store order related documents.  The site has a List and 2 document Libraries (one for live orders and one Archive.)

One of the Flows written for the site is designed to add a link to the related folder in the Document Libraries into the List items.  Within the Flow there are two Get files actions, the first to the current Document Library and the second to the archive Document library.  Other than the referenced Library these actions are identical, so I know the code is sound.

I do not get any error codes from either of the actions.

And if the folder is in the (smaller) current Library it is usually returned.

However if the folder is in the (larger) archive Library it is usually not returned.

 

My assumption is that the Get files action is simply not searching the full Library.  I know there is an issue filtering large SharePoint Lists and Libraries in Power Apps (the Delegation issue), but I haven't seen this documented for Power Automate.

 

Has any one else experienced this?  Any ideas for a workaround?

 

Thanks
