Hi all

A bit of back story, i am building an app that logs keys going in and out, i have 2 lists, one that has all the key entries and then when a key is returned and the status is changed i have a second list that is to be the historical record of all the key records. So i have built a flow to move all information from the first list to the second list. I can get all information to move from one list to the other except for the attachments.

My flow consists of:

The trigger of "when an item is created or modified" i then use the "Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)" followed by a condition. and then if met a create item and a delete item to move the list from one to the other.

But as you can see there is no option to bring over the attachments.

any help would be amazing.

Thank you.

Hey @JEVANSAP

The items can be easily transferred from one list to another.
For attachments you will have to use three extra actions.

1) Get Attachment. To get attachment ID
2) Get Attachment Content. To get attachment content
3) Add Attachment. To add attachment to the new list.
