How to update an item in a SharePoint list based on the changes made in another SharePoint List?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mitalipatel 31

I have a List A with Analyst as Person/ Group column and Customer Name they're assigned to.

 

I have List B with Customer Name, Order Details.

 

I need to create a column in List B with Assigned Analyst which will refer List A and populate data.

 

How can I create a Power Automate flow that will map the Assigned Analyst value from List A into List B of SharePoint List ?

    @mitalipatel ,

     

    You could achieve this without building a flow.

    All you need is a lookup column. You can pull the required fields from List B into the List A

    Hi, 

    I understand the Lookup option is there. However, if my list is already populated then the lookup doesn't work and rather provides a dropdown to choose from. 

     

    What I'm looking for is as soon as changes are made in List A, it should automatically update List B without any manual intervention. 

     

    Thanks 🙂

    Okay!

    Here is what you need to do:

    Update a Person field in SharePoint from one list to another using Power Automate - V's Blog (veronicageek.com)

    The blog link you've shared does not show images. Can you share the flow snapshots if visible for you?
