Posted on by Sathya2 112

Hi

 

  1. I am having two lists : SP List 1 & SP List 2
  2. SP List 2 will have the attachments with the SP List 1 ID(ID in SP List1 will act as Foreign Key).
  3. In SP List2 , each item will have only one attachment(so duplicate attachments will be there with same SP List 1 ID)
  4. From the power apps, I will send the SP List 1 ID as the trigger to the flow.

Here both the items under the Form ID 4 are having same attachments.

We all know that attachments column will not save duplicate files even though we upload n number of same files in attachment data card.

 If the list 2 contains distinct files, the flow is working fine.

 If the list 2 contains any duplicates , distinct files are copied to list 1(operation is done) but the flow fails.

 

Please help me on this.
