I'm trying to create a flow whereby after an email is sent that the status of an item changes from new to complete.  However, when adding this action, the fleld that I would like to update does not show up as an option.  how do i get this field to show up?

    Hello,

     

    It seems that this feature has been added, but I am still running into this issue. I have a list on an on-prem 2013 style sharepoint site that has multiple choice columns. I am running alert emails based on one of these choices, so when the user selects "Send an email based on this update" it sends an email. But when that flow runs I need it to update that choice back to "Dont send an email" so that it does not create a loop.  But like everyone was seeing back in 2017, the update item card action does not have options at all for the choice fields. 

    Is there a way to get the updated version so that I can add these fields, or am I limited because I am using the old style sharepoint?

    Hi kribrad,

     

    Currently, SharePoint People and Group/Lookup/Choice columns are not supported so they will not show up.

     

    I have seen two similar ideas on Flow Ideas Forum, please consider to vote the ideas at here:
