EXIF data not being extracted when a flow creates the file but is when manually uploading to a document library

We can configure a document library to show picture metadata that is automatically extracted from the files uploaded manually. However, if we use a flow to create the image file in the same document library, the EXIF metadata isn't extracted. Does anyone know how to "trigger" that EXIF metadata extraction to occur when creating the file using a flow? Maybe this is an oversight of the SharePoint Create File action.

The odd thing is the EXIF extract process is already working if you manually upload. So I'm wondering why using Flow to "upload" a file isn't resulting in the same extract process.

Hi @SJNBham,

It's unfortunate that extract EXIF data from an image is not supported in Flow currently.

There is an idea with a similar requirement, you could go to vote for it to make it could come true in the future:
