Hi all,
I've build a flow that tracks work requests. I want to notify the team if anyone changes a column. I am happy we now have the opportunity to track modifications ONLY (not just "Created or Modified). Unfortunately it sees brand new items as having a modified field for some reason, so the flow is triggered.
The columns "Modified" and "Editor" are both returning TRUE, even though this is a brand new list item. Any ideas why?
tx,

You can use trigger conditions so that the flow only fires if 1 or more specific conditions are (or are not) met. That sounds your best bet and there are various YouTube videos about this which should help.
Thanks for the prompt reply Rob!
Ok, so I can set my flow to ignore the default "Modified" and "Editor" columns, but how do I capture future edits? Will the Editor's name not be auto-captured to the "Editor" column (and therefore ignored by my flow)?
@dhalpin ever since SharePoint was first released in 2001 a new item will always be created with a modified date as well as a created date. So you need to use a different non-system column to check whether an item has changed.
