Flow to update a secondary sharepoint list producing multiple records instead of just one!!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by nina213 8

Hi, 

 

I have created a flow to update a secondary Sharepoint list (Dashboard), from a primary Sharepoint list "Sessions". I had to create a separate flow for when an item was created vs. modified as it wasn't working. 

 

When I create 1 item, it will update the secondary SPL with one record. 

 

When I update an item, it will update the new value in all existing records and if the item didn't exist, it will create 3 new records (same).

Any idea what I am doing wrong please?!!

 

Screenshot of the 2ndary SPL (orange for the value that updated for all records), (Green for the 3 new records created for the same modification in my primary SPL):

    a quick addition, actually the if item is modified flow seems to be creating a number of new records equal to the number of the existing record in the secondary SPL. i.e. I just tried a new run and it created 7 new similar records for the modified item and the 2nd SPL had already 7 records in place (so total of 14 records appear now)!!!
