HTTP Request to SharePoint-Action runes but does not change values

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
 
Hello everyone,
 
I am using the "Send HTTP Request to SharePoint"-Action in PowerAutomate to update values in MS Project. The values of specific fields on the project's Project Detail Page, to be precise. 
First, I am checking the project out. Then I use the "Send HTTP Request to SharePoint"-Action to update the value of the fields. Afterwards, I check the project in and publish it. This method is working fine for default fields like description and Project-ID.
 
But when I am trying to update custom fields that users have created the same way, it seems to not change. When I run the flow I do not get any error messages and the actions run fine, but when checking the custom fields afterwards the change has not been updated.
 
I am not sure whether the syntax I use in the HTTP-Request is wrong or it is simply not possible to change custom field values on the Project Detail Page using PowerAutomate.
 
 
Here is the general set-up of the actions inside the flow.
Below is the code of the HTTP Requests I am using that works fine.
 
This is the code of the HTTP Requests that works without an error but does not update the custom field values.
 
 
Does anyone know how to fix the HTTP-Action? 
 
Any help is appreciated. Kind Regards yeager7032

    Custom fields are the tricky to update in pwa sharepoint site. Check below blogs and cross check your custom field name and remove unwanted space from body part.
