Trigger "For a Selected Item" isn't picking up required fields

Hi all!

 

I've got a flow which is triggered by a button in a SharePoint list, which is coming up with an error straight after starting. It's just "For a selected item" and then "Get item", but the Get item step won't run as it's missing the "Details" information. I wasn't using "Details" as it's a default column and I can't edit it too much, so I just put whatever in there, but there is information in there. 

 

The trigger has a space to input information, so I thought maybe I could just add Details there, but you need another step to add it, and you need the Get items step before being able to update the list, so that didn't work. Maybe I could add a default value to the column? I can't change too much, but there's an option to add json code in the formatting there. What would be the best solution here? 

 

The error message:

Thanks so much for your help.

    It's okay, I gather there's no way to fix this. I went to the previous flow which created the list item in the first place and re-entered new information under "Details" at the end of the flow. Somehow it works now. It's frustrating when there's no answer, but I hope it helps someone later on.
