SharePoint Approval Status Changes from "Approved" to "Pending" when Modified.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
I have a few request lists on SharePoint and recently the approval status has been changing from "Approved" to "Pending" when the item is modified. My flow is only set to trigger when the item is created. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    If the approval status of the item has been changing from "Approved" to "Pending" when the item is modified, you must have a flow with trigger "When an item is created or modified".

     

    Please check from your flow to see if you have a flow with trigger "When an item is created or modified" or if any other user have a flow with trigger "When an item is created or modified" on the list.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    I do have a separate flow in this same list with "created or modified". Do you have any recommendations on how to say if the item is approved, leave it that way? From what I can tell, Flow isn't supporting the ability to see the content status yet so I'm not sure how I can do a condition for that.
