Hello,

I have a flow in Power Autotame, that calls Sharepoint to update an item. I am using Sharepoint API Rest ('Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' action), where I modify several fields. All of the fields are updated properly but the person / group field. I dont get any error, only a 204 code.

When checked in Sharepoint, all fields are correct except person field.

URL

_api/lists/getByTitle('ListName')/items(ItemId)/

Headers

accept: application/json;odata=verbose
content-type: application/json;odata=verbose
If-Match: *
X-HTTP-Method: MERGE

Body

{
 "__metadata": {
 "type": "SP.Data.ListNameListItem"
 },
 "fieldToUpdate": [
 {
 "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
 "Claims": "i:0#.f|membership|email@company.com",
 "DisplayName": "Name Surname",
 "Email": "email@compay.com",
 "Picture": ""
 }
 ]
}

I receive a 204 code, but when I verify the item in Sharepoint the field is not updated.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Hi @DavidRojo ,

I have made a simple test for your reference.
1. Here is my list.

2. Here is my flow.

_api/web/SiteUsers/getByEmail('<Email>')}')?$select=Id
body('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_get_userid')?['d']?['Id']

In addition, here is a link for your reference.
