Hidden Borders in a OneNote page created by Power Automate

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I have a simple flow which creates a OneNote page after a Sharepoint item is created. The content of the page is a complex table, therefore, I wanted to avoid having to create it from scratch and instead I opted to use the "Get page content" action to copy the empty table from a template page named "TEST".

The flow finishes successfully and although the newly created page has the exact same layout and text formatting, the tables are hidden as seen below:

Template:

Page created by the flow:

Although a simple flow itself, it is a part of a multilayer automation effort and I'm pretty much stuck at this point 😕 Please help!

Thanks,

Tom

Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems that the html code in the output of 'get page content' has changed.

This is my html code before:

<table border="1"> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table>

This is the 'get page content' output :

<html lang="en-US"> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body data-absolute-enabled="true" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt"> <div data-id="_default" style="position:absolute;left:48px;top:120px;width:624px"> <table style="border:1px solid;border-collapse:collapse"> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid">row 1, cell 1</td> <td style="border:1px solid">row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid">row 2, cell 1</td> <td style="border:1px solid">row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div style="position:absolute;left:1375px;top:82px;width:624px"> <br /> </div> </body> </html>

You could change style="border:1px solid;border-collapse:collapse" to border="1".

Just remove
<table style="border:1px solid;border-collapse:collapse">
and put in <table border="1">.

This works for me.
