Hey Automate community, I need your assistance to build a flow. The cloud flow is used for automatic inheritance of metadata to files within a folder. A detailed explanation would be that I want the files in a folder to inherit the metadata in all the columns which are applied to the parent folder. I have attached pictures below for your reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

P.S: I am quite new to Automate so please consider telling me anything and everything regarding the flow.Pic 1Pic 1Pic 2Pic 2Pic 3Pic 3Pic 4Pic 4

    When I use "ID" instead of "ItemID", my flow is successful but the columns for files within the folder do not get updated with the parent folder metadata.
