Create folder with a SP library that has a trailing "." in the name

I think I have found a bug, but want some confirmation. I am trying to use the "Create new folder" connector in PA for SharePoint. The error shows up when you manually enter a library that has a trailing "." in the name of the library name. Choosing that library from the drop down does not produce the same error.

Choosing “Enter a custom value” and typing “Perdue Farms, Inc.” fails

Error message

Flow save failed with code 'DynamicOperationRequestClientFailure' and message 'The dynamic operation request to API 'sharepointonline' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'NotFound'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 404, "message": "List not found\r\nclientRequestId: 1eca65dc-eb8b-41e7-9c10-

166ea51e1a61\r\nserviceRequestId: 1eca65dc-eb8b-41e7-9c10-166ea51e1a61" }'.

SharePoint recognizes the site when I type "https://**mytenant**/sites/**mysite**/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Perdue Farms, Inc.')"

Can someone else confirm that I am not crazy?

Hi @sobenson ,

This is not an operator error, it is a known issue.
When you manually enter the name of the library, flow essentially identifies it by the library ID.
When the punctuation mark appears at the end of the library name, flow will not recognize it.

You can avoid the error by selecting the library name from the drop-down box.
Or There’s an alternative way to create a new folder that uses the path of the document library instead of its name: create a folder with the action ‘Send an HTTP request to SharePoint’.
I think this link will help you a lot:

Hi @v-liwei-msft,
Thank you and I appreciate your response. The way I first found this error is we are using SP libraries as repositories for Dynamics. Every "Project" gets a library so everyone does not need to be a licensed D365 user. For simplistic sake the library is created with the project number, but then the library is renamed with "Project number - Client name". We are also creating a list with all of the new Projects. The flow I initially found this error with, looks up the Project number to find the client name to put together the library name to create the folders, which is why I cannot use the drop down to find the name.
If this is a known bug, is there a place I can vote on this to have it looked at and fixed?
