Resubmit flow when form ID already exists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello all,

I have created an automated flow using Forms 365>SP>EXCEL>Outlook Email.

The form response can include files, however when a responder does not use the file attachment option, it causes the flow to fail (specifically the apply to each which creates a SP item).

 

I managed to bypass it by setting the run after to run the next step and now it works fine for me. BUT, when I am trying to resubmit the failed flows I get the following error message: "The list item could not be added or updated because duplicate values were found in the following field(s) in the list:  [Request ID]".

 

now, I understand it occurs because the same form is already listed, but could not find a way to use the resubmit option succesfully.

 

My question is, is it possible to resubmit the falied flows, but as new records?

 

Thanks! you must be resilient had you've come this far 🙂

    This sounds like a list set-up issue to me, if this error is coming from the SharePoint step - that you might have "unique enforced" or something? I'm not sure. Are you able to post screenshots of your flow? It will help us to better understand the full process.  If there is a failure point when there's no attachments, we'd probably want to amend that rather than doing a run-after .. so now the question is, why is it failing there? Screenshots will help, with your flow in edit mode 🙂
