Hi,

 

I already created a new flow that should update a Sharepoint List based on a file library (uploaded and edited on Sharepoint).

Normally the flow works well, I just added a new action that permits:

  • Change the file status, in the library, to "In Progress" by editing file properties based on the source file ID:

  •  Then, I listed all rows present in the table and sent all new entries to the Sharepoint list:

flow2.png

  •  Finally, I should change the file status to "Completed":

flow3.png

 There is my full flow:

flow4.png

 

All data on the source file in Sharepoint library is sent to the list and updated. But the problem is with changing the status of the source file to "Completed". The flow fail when it reach the last action, and provide this error:

flowResult.png

 

It indicates that my file is already in use by myself! Did we have a solution to prevent this problem?
