SharePoint List - moving data to new SharePoint List - I "must" maintain the original created by field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 581

I'm moving List data between SharePoint sites, basically copying the data from one site to another for a new production environment for a Canvas App.

 

I've just realised that a number of Power Automate functions which run in the background have an email address set by the "Created By" field.

 

Whenever I move the data it list the created of the Power Automate flow in the "Created By" field. I need to preserve the original "Created By" information in the new List, yet Power Automate does not list this as an option when transferring data.

 

I urgently need to be able to do this, can anyone please help?
