When an item or file is modified trigger not working

Yesterday I was trying to set up a new flow but no matter what I could not get it to sense the trigger "When an item or file is modified".

 

I tried several things.  I also waited to see if it would start working.  I even created a brand new flow from scratch and still couldn't get it working.

 

This morning tried again and still not working.  So I performed some tests.

 

I created a simple flow with the trigger "When an item is created" for that specific list.  Works no problem.

Deleted the trigger and added new one "When an item is created or modified", worked no problem.

Deleted the trigger and added new one "When an item or file is modified" ... will never trigger???

 

Like I said I've tried creating three flows now with that trigger all tied to the same SP list and will never trigger?

 

Is anyone else having an issue before I create a support ticket?

 

Thanks,

Terry

    Yep, just wanted to make sure others weren't having the same issue first.

     

    Also, another test I just ran, same trigger, different list, same site... still didn't work.

    Unfortunately, this likely may not be something we can assist you with on the community forums, so I would suggest that you open a support request.

    Yes, List.

     

    I am testing all three of the triggers listed above in my original post and selecting the same site/list to test against in each.

     

    As for the dates/times yes, nothing for that trigger even after waiting for a day...

     

    There's definitely something bad with that trigger in my environment.

     

    Thanks,

    Re: When an item or file is modified trigger not working

    I've just tested and When an item or file is modified works just fine for me. To be clear, you have the List or Library Name selection set to a list, and you are testing by modifying an item from that list, correct?

    Trigger

    You can view the Flow's run history by clicking the Date on the flow details page, which should give you access to a detailed look at the flow run.

    If you could provide an expanded screenshot of your Flow and steps, your Flow run history, and of any detailed error messages you're receiving we could likely better assist you. Also, for the best results, you may want to review How to write a good forum post.
