Posted on by jpr23

I want to update only one field in a sharepoint list using Power automate "Update element" .

But i don't want to modify the other fields already filled.

So , when i am using the update form to update just one field , the system wants me to filled all the mandadory field nevertheless already filled !

And then i have to develop code to copy the existing values for nothing!!

Is there a way to indicate to Power automate to not modify the existing values , except the field value that we want to change ?

thanks for help

@jpr23 you need to fill the mandatory fields and you can leave other fields blank. to fill mandatory with current value you can use sharepoint action get item with the help of the action you can get fields value of the item to use in update action.

Thanks but when the requiered fields are "persons field" or "multi choice fields" it is more complicated !
I have to combine commands like select , join ... and this for change nothing in fact !! ..and to do this for all the required fields .. it is a prehistoric language compared to VBA !

A lot of code , for nothing !

It would be "so simple" to leave all the fields blanks ( like the not required fields) and just to update the value we want !
This is the reason why i am looking for a simple solution , a trick !!
you see 😉 ?

Hi

I use already a get items to previously read the elements. So if i try to update with the fiunction "update item " i have to fill a choice field ( for choosing multi countries code in my case) .

So how can i simply fill the field with the value read in the get items for the same field ? I try to switch the field to update to "the entire array mode " and try to fill it with the value of the field read in the get item ,but it doesn't works !

the field "pays" is a required choice field !
