Hi,
I have two SharePoint lists: List A and List B.
I have created a Power Automate flow to copy the items from List A to List B when an new item is created.
However, in List B, I want to store the ID from List A.

How can I do that?

Post a question

Gr.P

    How to get the ID from a SharePoint list and copy it to another SharePoint list
    Hi  PeKi72 ,
     
    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.
     
    To store the ID from List A in List B when copying items using Power Automate, you can follow these steps:
     
    Trigger: When an item is created in List A.
    Get Item: Use the "Get item" action to retrieve the newly created item from List A.
    Create Item: Use the "Create item" action to create a new item in List B. In this action, you can map the fields from List A to List B, including the ID field from List A.
     
    Here's a detailed breakdown:
     
    Trigger: When an item is created in List A.
    Use the "When an item is created" trigger for List A.
    Get Item: Retrieve the newly created item from List A.
    Add the "Get item" action.
    Set the Site Address and List Name to List A.
    Use the ID from the trigger to get the specific item.
    Create Item: Create a new item in List B.
    Add the "Create item" action.
    Set the Site Address and List Name to List B.
     
    Map the fields from List A to List B, including the ID field from List A.
