Is it possible to copy multiple files based on a piece of metadata

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 415

Hello,

 

Here is my scenario. I have about 100 subsites under a site collection, each subsite represents a high school. Once per year I would like to copy and delete all files with, for example, Academic Year = 2020-2021 from each subsite to a subsite under the same site collection called Archive. A) Can multiple files within a subsite's documents library that have the same Academic Year be copied (and then deleted)? I don't want to make a flow for each subsite. I'm having difficulty finding the File to Copy File Identifier.

 

I'd like to use a schedule or manual trigger flow.

    @trishmalloy you can have folders in the document library and then copy the files without folders you will have to make sure the filenames are unique, for getting the file identifier, you can try action Get file metadata or Get file metadata and then pass the identifier.
