I have a flow built to take field values from a list and create a Microsoft Word file from a template uploaded to the document library. I've followed directions closely from a number of instructional videos found on the web. The flow runs successfully, however, the data from the list record does not end up on the newly created file. I've successfully
- Created a template file and added the required "quick parts" that relate the library metadata fields to the list field values
- Retrieved the file content using the template file and "get file content" node in the flow
- Created the file using "create file" node and populating required inputs in the node (site address, file name, etc)
- Updated file properties. This is the node where I map the list field values to the metadata field values in the document library. These updated values show correctly in a view in the doc library.
- Get file content again using site address and "identifier" field from the previous "update file properties" node. This is the step that I think is not working correctly, although it doesn't error out.
If I look at the raw data through each step it appears to take, however, when I open the new file it only shows the default name of the quick part with no data in it.
In the settings of the create file node, I have chunking turned off to allow for overwriting previous file with the same name. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.
