Update SharePoint List Item from an array of Lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

So I have 2 Arrays, one array of websites, and the other an array of lists that those websites contain.

Ex:
Websites Array:

List Array:

C_Mcbail_1-1638560424437.png

I use a nested for each loop, in order to enter each site and then loop through the lists I want to access in that site (this works perfectly fine it gets all the data and i can use it properly):

where the problem happens, is when I try put the data in the update item action. 

C_Mcbail_3-1638561567928.png

nothing happens when I put the data in the Item box... what exactly should i be using in there... is there a way to some how tell it to update [This_item(with_this_data)]? it seems like that's the case, if it's not why can i even get to this point. is dynamically updating like this a lost cause using SharePoint Lists?

    Hi @C_Mcbail 

     

    You can use the "Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint",

    check out this post from Anna Jhaveri

    close.... I've tried this method before. That works in a more... open environment... unfortunately because of the way the send HTTP request Accesses the data, the security parameters set with our version prevents it from accessing the designated SharePoint sites (even though I have ownership access) and I get an access error when using the send HTTP request. I might have been doing something wrong though so I'll certainly give it another shot

    Edit: it seems i was using the Send HTTP Request wrong, I am quite the newbie with Power automate and URI's... thank you for giving me a nudge to try this out again as it finally seems to work!
