Using a multiple choice as an output to rename a folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 120

Good morning. As people have followed my posts before know I am creating a flow that makes a series of folders in sharepoint based off of a users input. I am trying to use the choices that a person uses in the symbol dropdown(and others but I am focused on this part) to name a file that gets created in sharepoint. Problem is when I try to have the folder path be renamed with the initialized (as a string) Symbol the program will crash and not create the folder. The flow works as intended without the symbol part added.

    Hi @zajacjos ,

     

    Based on the error message, there is a non-permitted character in the folder path/name. I tried with the dash symbol, but the flow worked.

    Could you please check the run history to see which of the new folder names are forbidden? You can expand the Apply to each control in run history, find the specific one that was stopped and check its input parameters.

     

    Best regards,
