Create Items In List That Doesn't Exist Yet

Posted on by 1,374 Moderator

I have a List called "CurrentChipLog" with items that get created multiple times every day.

 

I want to start archiving these items into a new List per-year. I already have a Flow that will run on January 1, and create a List called "ChipLog2022" (in this example) with the exact same columns as "CurrentChipLog".

The Flow searches "CurrentChipLog" for all transactions that were made before January 1.

I then want to create an item in "ChipLog2022" for each Item found in "CurrentChipLog".

The problem is that the "List Name" of "Create item" is dynamic, and therefore Power Automate obviously cannot tell me what the column names are. Is there a format I can put the items retrieved so that it creates Items correctly?

    @IPC_ahaas ,

     

    I suggest you use the SharePoint rest API to create these items.

    You can specify the List name dynamically

    REST API to Create and Update SharePoint List Items from Power Automate (annajhaveri.com)
