    Hi , @Alexnader 

    According to your description, you want to create a unique id column in sharePoint list. This is my test data and my generated unique ID column:

    This is my test flow:

    vyueyunmsft_1-1709531602936.png

    Trigger you need to open the "Split On":

    (1)Get items action:

    vyueyunmsft_2-1709531678346.png

    formatDateTime( triggerOutputs()?['body/Created'] , 'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z' )
    formatDateTime( triggerOutputs()?['body/Created'] , 'yyyy-MM-ddT23:59:59Z' )
    triggerOutputs()?['body/ID']
     
    (2)Update Item action:
    vyueyunmsft_3-1709531805964.png
    formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'yyyyMMdd')
    length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])
     
     
     

     

    Best Regards,
