Metadata inheritance of parent folders on files and subfolders

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Hello,

I expose me a question below:

 

A document library
Parent folder 1: "Access" column: Choice: Yes
Parent folder 2: "Access" column: Choice: No

 

If a user adds a file or folder to Parent Folder 1, the default value in the "Access" column is: No.

Can we have a workflow that :

 

If Parent Folder 1: "Access" column = Yes.
So
Items created in Parent Folder 1: "Access" column = Yes

    Hi @Guillaume_G92,

     

    You could create a Flow with a trigger that When a file is created. After one File is created in the Parent Folder 1, update the file properties to set the "Access" column to "Yes".

    For example:
