I am a novice to power automate. How can I create a new item to my SharePoint list without re-entering all the values for each column, I can default the values for my new item from my most recent item in the list.

    Hi @Grasswal 

     

    1. First you need to use Get Items, SharePoint Action

    -Set the site and list

    -Set the Order By to ID desc 

    -Set the Top Count to 1

    this way it will give you the last record first

     

    2. Create an Apply to Each Action

    -Set the value/Input/From to the Dynamic Body/Value property of your Get Items. It will only have 1 so don't worry 

     

    3. Inside the Apply to each add a Create Item action for SharePoint

    -Populate the Defaults, with the Dynamic Propertys inside the Apply to Each. It will have all the Column Names from SharePoint

     

    4. Do Whatever else you want


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You
