Hello friends!! I need your support. My flow is triggered by a response submitted in a Form, then creates an item in a list and creates a folder in a Team. The name of the folder comes from a dropped down option within the Form. what i recognized is that, my flow is not working when I select two specific options (from the dropped down) and then the whole process stops.

I already changed the text from the dropped down options in the form and still not works. I have no idea what to do.... i tested several times and it works perfect, only with two items is will stop.

Using flows

Hi,

1. Check Invalid Characters
Those 2 options have hidden bad chars like / \ : * ? " < > | # %. Teams/SharePoint blocks them in folder names. Run flow, check error in run history for exact chars.

2. Clean Name Before Create Folder
Add "Compose" action before Create Folder. Use expression: replace(replace(replace(triggerBody()?['dropdownField'],'/','_'),':','_'),'?','')
Use Compose output as folder name.

3. Test Specific Options
Submit form with only those 2 bad options. Add Compose with raw dropdown value - copy/paste into Notepad to see hidden chars. Replace all invalid ones with _ or -.
