Copy list item to secondary sharepoint list when created and update same item when primary is updated

Hello,

 

I want to copy any new list items to a secondary SharePoint list, then update that same item when it is updated in the primary. Right now, when the item is updated, the secondary list just creates a new item with the same data. what's the best way to resolve this or should I change the formula?

 

Also, how do I get the attachments field to copy over as well?

    Hi @ShadowTech ,

     

    I have a test for your reference.
    In my scenario, when I am modifying my ListF, flow will search for an item with the same Title in ListG according to the Title, and update ListG if there is one; if not, add an item in ListG

    Hi,

     

    I've been testing the flow. its working for the most part but every now and then it does not update a list item with an attachment. Any thoughts?

     

    Thanks
