Trigger when a SharePoint list column is added or removed

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

I need to update a secondary list when a column in the master list is added or removed.

Is there a trigger for when a SharePoint list column is added or removed...?

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you!

    Don't think thats posible.

     

    The best idea I can think of is to manually run it after changes are made.

    Hi @danielch1,

     

    There should also be a SP.List.getChanges method which tracks changes on objects like lists. It works with tokens, so you might be able to run that on a schedule.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-visio/jj245574(v=office.15)

     

    Below is an example of using that method in a Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action.

     

    URI

    _api/web/lists/getbytitle('@{variables('ListName')}')/getChanges

     

    Body

    {
    "query": { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.ChangeQuery" },		
    "Add": true,
    "ChangeTokenEnd": null,
    "ChangeTokenStart": null,
    "DeleteObject": true,
    "Field": true,
    "List": true,
    "Update": true
    }
    }

    Nice blog about this concept:
