Creating SharePoint List View using Power Automate - stopped working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 52

I have an issue with an important step in my flow that creates a view in a SharePoint List that was working. I had followed various posts like How to Create SharePoint List Views using Power Automate [4 Different View Examples] - SPGuides and Create SharePoint List View using Power Automate (c-sharpcorner.com).

 

I created the Send HTTP task and during several test runs, the flow would create the new SharePoint View and it would contain the proper content that was filtered in the view.  Then after a couple days of working on another project, I return to the flow and started to test again, without editing the Flow at all. During that test, the view would create, but it would not display the items that should be displayed. To get those items to display all I had to do was "edit the view" and then "ok" the changes without making any edits to the view settings.  

 

In the same flow, I have a copy of the same Send HTTP step except it points to a different list. That step is correctly creating a view that displays the correct content. I've included the two steps that are related to the creation of the view that is not working now.

At this point, if there is a way to add a step in the flow to do another Send HTTP to simply do the "Edit and Save" with no other changes, I'm fine with that. This is a View that is needed to be created each day and without this working right, I have to make sure to "fix" the view every single morning for the end users.

    Are you sure you can't automate this via a standard view filter?

    What has previously worked was a separate view for each one. Think of it as a view per day. In our situation, Monday is assigned to Person1 and Tuesday is assigned to Person2 etc.  While I am moving forward with a "pending" view that is then grouped, it isn't ideal.

     

    Also note that in the same exact flow, I use the same exact step to create a view as desired and it continues to work. The only difference is that it is in a separate library. 

     

    For this one that is not working, I have tried it with the Document Library and with a list that contains links to the documents involved - it doesn't work for either.
