Share point list and Display Name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

Hello, I have a flow that works with a list of share point . When you change one column in another, the name of the one who changed using "Display Name" appears. The problem is that after the name of the person who changed the column appears, after a couple of seconds it changes to mine (the creator of the list). I don't know what is causing this and how to fix it. I will be glad to any opinions.

    @ruslan889901 

    The change made by the Approver causes the Flow to run.  Since your Flow updates the list item, the last updated by will change to you and the Flow runs again.

    I'm surprised that you don't have an infinite loop.  Does the approval status change to something other than Approved or Reject?

    You might try using a trigger filter or condition at the top of your Flow configured so that the Flow does not run or it stops if you were the last person to update the item.

    I suspect that your Flow is updating the list item.  As a result, it shows you as the Last Modified By because your connection info was used with the Action that updated the item.

    If you need more help, please post a screen shot of your Flow.
