I do a lot of stuff with SharePoint Items based on config data. I imagined an Issue with Update item as it hard binds to Column normally.
However, when the Site Address and List Name are dynamic, it exposes an Item property (named that for no obvious reason) in which you can specify an object with Column/value pairs. I created a series of wrapped flows that would do the create/update via the SharePoint HTTP Request Action. The object of Column/value pairs was exactly what I wanted because I can build the object at runtime.
Anyway, I would have saved myself time had I known this, so I hope others benefit. Always one to find that silver lining. I learned a lot about doing stuff with SharePoint with HTTP. I now have a flow that can get Column info, for example. I'll extend it to do other stuff, sparing the caller a lot of the details.

GenAI still isn't where it needs to be. I consult multiple chatbots regularly, but none of them caught this; they sucked me into the wrong solution, just faster.
