Hello Community,

I'm looking for a way to rename a document in SharePoint using Metadata columns and version number,
I've built a flow where I can get the Metadata columns, but when I try to include the version number it does not display as actual version due to the file extension. instead of showing the version number as 0.1 it shows as 01

Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the actual version number to display.
I've tried adding a calculated column, but that did not work
I'm using a HTTP request to rename the document which is working as expected, I've used a compose for the Version Number and trying to get the outputs from that in the HTTP request

Does anyone have any suggestions please.
Thank you!
Claire

Hi @ClaireAllen , I think the problem is the dot '.', I saw here that @jinivthakkar in a similar case suggests as a workaround to pass the filename with extension.

@SimBon
Thank you for the replay and information, I have tried using with and without extension, and it will still not pick it up, and the link you provided, I am not able to get this to work for any type of document I want to rename to include the version number.

Kind regards
Claire

I managed to resolve the issue that works for me, so I thought I'd share what I did
I added a space in the send an HTTP request after the outputs and put another dot, so when the workflow runs it adds the correct version number.
Does what I need it to do, and this was just adding a compose with the dynamic content of the version number and using the output in the HTTP request.
