Hi, I have a Data Catalogue SharePoint list and have a column called 'Data Modified' which I would like to autopopulate with the Data and Time when items in the inventory are amended.

Hi

Here is what you need.

1. Create an Automate Flow

2. Set the Trigger to, when an Item is update / modified

3. Create an Update Item (SharePoint action)

4. In the Update, use the Dynamic ID Property from the Trigger (in the Dynamic property window). for the item you want to update

Make sure you populate values for anything that needs one

For example, if Title needs to be filled in, use the Dynamic Title Property from the Trigger, so it just gives it the same value.

Set the Date Modified Date value to the expression

utcNow()

And done

I am trying to understand what you need. Is the "Data Modified" date and time the same date and time as when the item in the Data Catalogue is updated? If so, you don't need to do anything. SharePoint has a built-in column named Modified that tracks it for you. If that is not what you want, can you illustrate what you need. Although, if FLMike's suggestion is what you need, no worries.
