Error when updating SharePoint list item using Batch Method

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 59
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: 
    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.
