Help with Update Task with Sharepoint Path/File link

Posted on by ktownshend

Trying to get an Update Task connection to work and running into this error:

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_task_details' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'body/references/0/resourceLink' is required to be of type 'String/uri'. The runtime value '"%252fShared%2bDocuments%252fPlannerDocs%252fWindows%2bOS%2b_%2bService%2bPack%2bReport.xls"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uri'.

I'm not able to figure out why as the resources is found and displayed but the flow stops cold at this last step and the whole flow fails.

Any help or things to try would be appreciated.

Hi @ktownshend,

That field requires you to enter an absolute link which starts with http:// or https://. You are using a value which is a relative url.

You could for example use the link to item field (aka {Link}) from the Get File properties action and use that field instead of the Path field you are currently using.

1. You can see in the suggestion text of the field what type of value the field expects

2. Below is an example with the Link to item field.

@Expiscornovus

Thank you so much for this information.

I was missing a step to get the sharing link.

Now that I have that, the flow is working as expected and getting the task created and updated with the file but it's doing so with multiple entries.

Is it because I have it all in one apply to each?

Hi @ktownshend,

Yes, that is correct.

With the current setup shown in the screenshot you are you are creating a new task and updating the task details for each attachment in the apply to each loop.

Hi Expiscornovus,

That's what I thought.

The problem I have is that if they are not all in the same apply to each I'm not able to connect the steps. I get a message that the step needs pieces from the apply so I can't move them out to make them a stand alone piece.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make this work?

I greatly appreciate the help. Very new to power automate and learning on the fly here.

Regards,

Kendra
