Hi Flow Experts,

I have a flow that will be trigger on "Create of New item in SharePoint List"

Error - The API 'sharepointonline' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'When_an_item_is_created' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'GetOnNewItems' is missing required property 'body/value/0/Title'.'

Please provide your valuable suggestion.

Thanks in advance/

Hello,

It looks like you created the flow from the template. As a workaround, please try creating it from blank and verify if you get the same error message.

I have seen some similar scenarios, wherein sometimes the pre-defined templates does not render as expected.

Hi

I have the same problem:

The API 'sharepointonline' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'When_a_file_is_created_(properties_only)' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'GetOnNewFileItems' is missing required property 'body/value/0/Description'.'

This is created from a blank template. Description is not a require field.

The workflow initially worked now it fails at the very start.

Hi

I found that deleting the initial trigger - When a file is created (properties) and then recreating it worked.
I then had to update all the variable in the rest of the flow - a bit of a pain.
I believe this a bug.
Hopefully this works for you and Microsoft can look into this problem.

I have seen this error when the list items title value is blank or null. When setting a value, the error goes away.

This is exactly what happens to me.

I was trying to update a SP list. But, the SP List happens to have some blank entries on the Title column. As we know, each SP List has a Title Column, and it can be renamed.

Exactly like @mtiscia said, putting some values to this field make this error goes away.

I found that if you change column format in your list after you already created a flow, it can cause this. To solve I had to delete the action from the flow and put back in again.
