Flow to update document library folder modified date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 365
Hello,
 
I have a large document library with many folders that I am working with. I noticed that a folder's modified date doesn't update whenever a new file is added to a folder. Apparently this is expected behavior, which is disappointing. How can I make a Flow that updates the modified date for the one specific folder that got a new file, and not update the modified date for all of the other folders?

    Rather than using traditional folders to manage your documents in SharePoint, you might want to explore using Document Sets. While it may not be straightforward, you can create a custom column within the Document Set (such as "Last Modified") that you can update whenever an item is changed
