Filter query stopped working

Hi all,

 

A flow I have been using for some time now and has ben working fine is suddenly no longer working properly. Part of the flow uses the get files function and uses a simple query to filter files through a column I added to the document library. The filter is simply as follows:

This was working fine but now it no longer picks up any files, even though they are in the library with correct CropReportID tags. The column is a single line of text. Do I need to add quotes around my ID field?

    Hello @Keesl ,

    yes, you need to add quotes around the ID dynamic content, just quotes, no spaces.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks @tom_riha and @ChristianAbata  for your suggestions. I already tried those and it made no difference. I did look at other possible issues and left it for a day or so. When I got back to it I realised that I had reached the magic 5000 file limit. I added the following to the Get files action, Order by Modified desc and Top count 500 as below:

    This goes through the latest 500 files only, rather than 5000.

     

    Thanks for your replies.
