Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi All, I am using flow to generate a share point list, then adding columns to it. I need to add the newly created columns to the default view and hit a road block.

I was thinking of using this endpoint but i need to get the list and view ID as a variable and pass it onto this.

http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/Views(viewid)/ViewFields/addViewField(strField)

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous

Get Lists action step will return all the lists. Once you retrieved the list records then filter by name to get the list id you want.

To get the view id use the Get List Views and apply the similar method which I described above.

Thanks

Thank you for this! i was able to get the variables i needed, however i hit another road block

http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/Views(viewid)/ViewFields/addViewField(strField)

is not working as expected. Would you happen to know how to work with views via REST?

Thanks for the link. I don’t get any errors. I’m the flow is successful it just doesn’t do anything with the views.
