Error when updating SharePoint list item using Batch Method

Posted on by mm_512

Hello,
I'm trying to update SP list item using the batch API inspired by Tyler's blog: https://community.powerplatform.com/galleries/gallery-posts/?postid=dc95f047-afcc-4a31-bc84-962b240fe6fa

I get this error during the sendBatch action:

The URI used in the Send HTTP Request to SharePoint action with the patch method:
'siteAddress'_api/web/lists/getByTitle('listName')/items(|ID|)

Here the |ID| is replaced by the "Title" column in my SP list -> Is that causing the problem & can I use a custom column to update the list item?

The batchData is:

The Send HTTP Request to SharePoint:

Yes, you are missing the single quotes around the title text.

Hi lbendlin,

Thanks for responding and your suggestion.

I tried single quotes in a separate isolated flow. That did not work & threw an error:

The documentation link here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-lists-and-list-items-with-rest#retrieve-specific-list-item

indicates the {item_id} is required in the URI, so I then attempted the same test by passing the SP list item ID and it ran successfully.

Next, I went back to the batch flow and passed in the SP List Item ID instead of "Title" column as I was originally trying. It is now working as expected.
