Get files (properties only) cannot get more than 100 items!

Posted on by 4

Built a flow to bulk populate a SP List (after querying a library)

I pull all the documents with URLs where filename starts with "BMP_"

Then it checks folder it is in is called "Current".

Then creates a list item with a link to open the file.

All works great.

 

But only returns 100 items by default when I use a Filter Query (ODATA) in my Get file (properties only)

 

startswith(FileLeafRef, 'BMP_')

 

  • It doesn't matter if I enable or disable Pagination or set it to 5000.
  • Also if I change or increase the Top Count

 

It seems with a Filter Query I cannot get more than 100 items!

If I remove the Filter Query and enable pagination (set to 10k) I get all 10000 items!

 

BUT if I set it to 35000 items I hit this error/limit of data in SharePoint The action 'Get_files_(properties_only)' has an aggregated page results size of more than '209915130' bytes. This exceeded the maximum size '209715200' bytes allowed.

 

Here is the setup..

 

Setup below

Whether I adjust Top Count/Pagination it always returns 100 like below

If I remove the Filter Query I can get lots of items (until I hit the query limit of data), I got 10000 below when I set the Pagination to 10k (but 35k it failed), there are 35000 documents in this library!

 I want to pull all the document URLs that start with "BMP_"

 

Can you not query more than 100 library URLs with Get files AND using a Filter Query?

Should I instead do this usingthe REST API/HTTP Request?

 

Kind Regards,

Paul

    I guess it can't!
