Issues updating a locked file property using SharePoint HTTPS Request

Posted on by tyler_05

Hello!

I'm working on a Power Automate flow that will update properties of a file in a doc library, even if a file is locked. I'm following the steps from Dennis, a Microsoft MVP : Update a Locked File property – Expiscornovus

I applied the same logic to my document approval flow, but I get an error when trying to save and publish my flow: The input parameter(s) of action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_Update_File_Properties_Approved' contain an invalid reference to 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_sharedLockId'. Correct to include a valid reference to 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_sharedLockId' for the input parameter(s) of action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_Update_File_Properties_Approved'.

Below are screenshots from my flow. I for the life of me, can't figure out why it errors out. Any help provided greatly appreciated.

This is the equation for the sharedlockid:

Hello,

it looks you have one extra space in the HTTP request name, there're two spaces before the '- sharedLockId'. Remove the space or add another _ in the expression to keep the name and reference aligned.

Thank you so much. I even looked at it for well over one hour in total looking for syntax things like that. I can't believe I missed that. Thanks again!.
