how to update the word documents with new names

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I need to get the copy of list item to second list by clicking button in Power app . I did that , but in my Share point list I have a hyperlink column it contains the word documents and pdf .I want to copy a record from the first list to the second list, but the hyperlink column should not be linked to the original document in the first list. I want the hyperlink column in the second list to be independent and not affected by any changes made to the document in the first list.                                                                  

 

 

Thanks in Advance

    Yes , I'm having attachments in a hyperlink column(doc link) like this https://.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/198998010/_layouts/11/Doc.aspx?source doc=%7BA944213A-CFCF-41B3-A142-9D7FFE968EFE%7D&file=Doc1.docx , so the issue is if I change anything is this documents it is also affected to the copied Doc link 

     

     

    Thanks for the Quick Response.

    Hi @ThaarA-1424 

    In such cases, you have to add the same attachments in list2 as well.

     

    Here is the flow design:

    Hope this helps 🙂

     

    Mark it as solution if it resolves your query 🙂

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar 

    thank you for your response, but I think its not the one what I needed, I get the copy of the record to list 2 from list 1 by using Patch function in power apps, all I want is If I change the content  of word document in list 1 it will not reflect to List2. Hope u help me to resolve this.

    Hi @ThaarA-1424 

     

    Adding the document to list 2 from list 1 will make it independent, if you edit document in list 1, it won't reflect in list 2

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar 

       I trigger this flow by when an item is created in list 2, what is the final scope after apply to each , because my flow status is running in last 30 min , and I'm getting "Your operation has been throttled" through mail.

     

    so can you please give more details, its more helpful for me . I'm searching for the solution long dates

    Hi @ThaarA-1424 

     

    Looking at the issue "Your operation has been throttled", it means you have exceeded the limt it on number of action which you can use in the flow

     

    Also, i did not get what you meany by "what is the final scope after apply to each"

     

    is it the highlighted one ?
