'For a selected file' - number of inputs is limited to 20?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm creating a workflow that enables the user to update cell values in an excel file by entering the values as input (dates and text) at the start of the flow - in the 'for a selected file' sharepoint trigger.

 

I see that the number of inputs is limited to 20 - is there a configuration that will allow me to increase this? I need approx 25.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Currently the number of inputs is capped at 20. Can you share more details on what is the type of the values that you want the user to input? (I see it is text and date) and if the text is a fixed value, you might want to check the Multi Select Option list as a workaround for this. 

     

    Alternatively, you can also consider using Microsoft Forms to first send a form to the user and then based on the inputs, update the item on SP. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Thanks for your reply.

    The limit of 20 inputs is good to know for future reference. It's not a biggie. I'll create several flows and group the inputs by type.

     

    Thanks again.
