    Hi! 

    In Lists there should be an "ID" column that may be hidden. Set a integer variable as the ID of the new item.  

    You can use the "Decrement variable" action to decrement by 1 to get the ID above your current item. 

     

    The flow should look something like this:

    Then you can map Value A and Value B to your liking.
