Using Dynamic Content as part of File Identifier

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Trying to use an input in a manual trigger to build out the end of a file path for copying files.  Here is the flow configured:

 

Capture.PNG

 

And here is the error:

Capture1.PNG

 

As you can see, the input parameter, IT-001, is showing up correctly as part of the filepath string.  But for some reason, it is erroring out.

 

It is worth noting that when i replace the input paramter in the filepath with the explicit filename IT-001, it works.

 

Is there something I need to do with dynamic content as part of a filepath in order for it to be interpreted correctly?

    Hi @grhaberer 

     

    List folder action does not calculate dynamic values

     

    Right before list folder action, add get folder metadata using path action (this accepts dynamic values)

     

    Then call the list folder action and set the File Identifier property to FileLocator dynamic content from get folder metadata using path action

    Re: Using Dynamic Content as part of File Identifier

    Hi @RezaDorrani 

     

    I  have tried this solution but it's not working when I set File identifier property to File locator the error was-The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'List_folder' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The resolved string values for the following parameters are invalid, they may not be null or empty: 'id'.

     

    I also tried to set file identifier property to path from dynamic content from get folder metadata using path action and the error was-The response is not in a JSON format.

     

    Please provide me some resolution. Thanks in advance
