Hello,

I want to duplicate a SharePoint list and copy all the items from a template using Power-Automate.
Here is the story:
1. I create a new list called "Project Copy" with the same columns as the template called "Project".
2. Now I want to copy items from "Project" and paste them into "Project Copy".
My problem is that I can't dynamically paste items into columns of a list that doesn't yet exist.

Do you have any idea how to achieve this?

If I'm not being clear, please let me know.

Hi , @dkayt
According to your description, you have created two SharePoint List , and you want to copy the items to "Project Copy" list.
You need to select the SharePoint List in your "Create Item" action,Then it will load the column in your list:
You can re-selected the List Name in your side , and you need to check if your Site Address has selected the right one.
And then you can put the value in your column you want to move:

Hi @v-yueyun-msft
Thanks for replying.
But the problem is, the columns can't be loaded because the "Project Copy" will be created from another flow. That means with one Trigger, I want to create the Project Copy with columns and put the values of Project into it. Is there a way to say to a flow wait of the created flow, look at all the columns and paste all the values from the "Project"?
Best Regards, dkayt
