Using List Rows Present on SharePoint Library with check-out enabled

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I've noticed that if you try to read an Excel file using the list rows present in a table and the Sharepoint directory the file is located in has 'require check-out enabled' the list rows will raise an API error when trying to browse Tables defined in the in workbook.

 

Though you can override this by entering the table name manually however the flow will fail with the following error:

 

The request is forbidden by Graph API. Error code is 'EditModeWorkbookCheckedOutRequired'. Error message is 'In order to edit workbooks in this Folder they must first be checked out.

 

This is obviously by design but are there any plans to support document libraries that have check-out enabled? The document I am referencing needs to be version controlled and checked-out to edit.

 

Thanks

    Hi @Paul_S ,

     

    As far as I know, if you need to use the actions contained in the Excel connector, you need to keep the specified files in the state of not checking out, opening, or editing during the process of configuring the action or running the Flow. Otherwise, Flow will prompt similar errors.

     

    I am afraid there is no similar Flow plan currently supporting document libraries that have check-out enabled.

     

    Best Regards,
