How to make column list visible using Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Hello 

 

I am trying to build a flow that creates a List , and adds the columns via HTTP requests (the only way i found).

 

This is how the flow looks like. It is suppose to trigger once a month.

So in the last step i define how i want the column to be : 

 

{"__metadata": { "type": "SP.FieldText"}, "FieldTypeKind": 2, "Title": "NEW TITLE","Hidden":false}

 

The problem : 

 

The flow runs successfully, so when i check the List , i see this :

So the column "NEW TITLE" has been created but its not visible by default despite having set "Hidden": false in the HTTP Request body

 

Is there any way i can make this column visible by default, or by any workaround? 

 

Thank you.

    The problem is that you are adding the column to the list, but not adding it to the default view, or any other view.  This post isn't specifically for Power Automate, but it does provide code for a REST call to add a field to a view.  That's what you are missing.
