Copy list data from one list to another and retain the original created/modified dates

Posted on by RM-30040732-0 528
Hello!
 
Is it possible to use Power Automate to copy list data from a classic list to a modern list AND retain the original created and modified dates?
 
I cannot see an input for this on the Create Item step in Power Automate but wondered if there is another way to do it.
 
TIA!

    I have not needed to do that in ages but take a look at this video: https://youtu.be/Q2-NlFJrAL8?feature=shared. This video explains how to update SharePoint system fields Created, Created By, Modified, Modified By using the SharePoint REST API.
     
    I would instead add fields to the list where you are copying the data and populate it with the existing data. In other words, Originally Created, Originally Modified, etc. This way. the data of who copied the item and when will be available.
