We have a SharePoint list in which Title column is hidden in default content type which is inheriting Item Content type where Title field is mandatory.

i have created one automated flow which is triggering on item creation and modification but is giving below error while triggering.

The API 'sharepointonline' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'When_an_item_is_created_or_modified' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'GetOnUpdatedItems' is missing required property 'body/value/0/Title'

Title field is hidden in default content type hence it is giving error even if i am setting default value to title field.

Please help.

Hi @uiit3155

You're setting the default value in the Flow or in SharePoint?

Can you please share that part of the Flow so that we can take a look and try to help?

Cheers

Manuel

Hi @manuelstgomes

Below is the screenshot of error, flow is not even triggering because it is expecting Title field to be filled in, which is empty as it is a hidden field in SharePoint forms.

Hi @uiit3155

I understand now. The "Title" being mandatory in SharePoint is a pain in these types of cases. I think the trigger is always expecting the Title to have data and that's why it's returning an error.

What I don't understand is that if you're defining a default value, it should always have a value. Can you please check if you have empty values for some reason?

We need to solve this on the SharePoint's side, since Flow will always require a filled-in "Title"..

Cheers

@manuelstgomes Thanks for your assistance. i was not providing any default value for the hidden Title field. Now i am giving a default value and changing that in flow once the automatic flow is triggering.
