Update File Properties of files inside a Library subfolder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello, I'm very new to Power Automate.  

I have a library with subfolders.  The subfolders contain documents.  I'm trying to build a flow that will update the status column of the documents when the status of the "Folder" changes.  

I attempted to use the "List Folder" action to get the documents inside the folder and it does return the items inside the folder but I can't use the output of the List Folder to update the file properties.  It automatically puts it into an apply to each but when I run it I get an error that the result must be a valid array.  Any help is appreciated!!

    @ScottShearer -In your example solution I don't see a condition for (folder status Completed) Will this work if List Folder is inside the Yes path of a condition?

    Yes - you can add a condition in the same way as shown in you Flow.

    Scott,

     

    Is there a way to update this flow to look at all of files that may be located in a nested subfolder(s) of the folder identified in the List Folder action?
