Update list items which contains specific texts

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi PowerCommunity,

In need of assistance as i'm having here a situation wherein LIST A contains the initial raw data. There's already an existing flow that creates an item for LIST B whenever a new item is created on LIST A. My main concern is, 
1. Create an update flow which updates "Status" "Prework Timestamp"=List A Modified Date columns once the "STATUS" column is tagged as "In Progress" or "Completed" in LIST A.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    You could create a trigger that "when an item is created or modified" action of SharePoint connector, then if any item is modified, get its last two versions to compare to check its Status field whether changed from "In Progress" to "Completed".

    If it is, update corresponding item in SharePoint list B.

    About how to get versions and comparing, you could refer to this blog:
