Solved: Populated metadata fields not posting to actual Microsoft word document file created with Power Automate

Populated metadata fields not posting to actual Microsoft word document file created with Power Automate

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.
