Posted on by Community Power Pla...

After performing a search in SharePoint using modern view and selecting an item, Flow does not appear as a menu item. If I browse to an item in the libary and selct it, the Flow menu is available and I can run my Flow. The trigger for my flow is "For a selected file". This is a problem with my library of over 1000 items my users will be using search a lot.

The last time I checked this was a known issue that the product group was working on. Something about the results page from the search seems to make the menu think its in classic mode. I haven't seen any eta on when a fix might be available.

I have a document library with dozens of folders and hundreds of documents. I type a search term in and press enter. On the results page, I select an item. The main menu bar appears with the standard choices: Open, Share, Copy link, Download, Delete, Move to, Copy to, Rename, and ***. But Flow does not appear on the menu. I exit the search page, browse and select a file, and the Flow menu is available. In Library Settings > Advanced Settings > List experience "New experience" is selected. The Flow is manually triggered "For a selected file".

Where are you checking to see this is a known issue? Wondering if it would help if a "feature" was requested to the product team.

I'm an MVP and was told the Search within a list/library used a different kind of page for results than a Search at the site level. That's why the menu entries aren't the same. As I said, its a known issue that the product team is aware of.
