How to convert an existing list to Tasks/To-Do

Hello,

Is there a way to export an existing SharePoint list to Tasks/To-Do via automated flow, without adding/modifying the items in the list?

I was able to create an automated flow that creates a new entry in Tasks/To-Do from a SharePoint list every time something is added or modified. However, I'm trying to create either a manual or automated flow that will duplicate the items in an EXISTING list to Tasks/To-Do. As you can see in the attached files, 1) I created the automated flow 2) I added "Test1" to my SharePoint list 3) a "Test1" task was created in Tasks/To-Do.

How should I build the flow if I want to add the items in an existing list to Task/To-Do without adding/editing the list items?

Thank you for any tips/suggestions/solutions!

Hi @v-chengfen-msft,

Thank you for your help - that worked! However, I'm now running into the issue of the task not updating in To-Do when it is edited in the SharePoint List. I have this workflow set-up:

But I'm getting this error:
    "statusCode": 400,
    "headers": {
        "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
        "Vary": "Accept-Encoding",
        "Strict-Transport-Security": "max-age=31536000",
        "request-id": "2eaea058-e7ed-46dd-9f6b-c51935791321",
        "client-request-id": "2eaea058-e7ed-46dd-9f6b-c51935791321",
        "x-ms-ags-diagnostic": "{\"ServerInfo\":{\"DataCenter\":\"Canada East\",\"Slice\":\"E\",\"Ring\":\"2\",\"ScaleUnit\":\"001\",\"RoleInstance\":\"QB1PEPF0000291B\"}}",
        "Timing-Allow-Origin": "*",

        "x-ms-apihub-obo": "false",
        "Date": "Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:00:55 GMT",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Content-Length": "325"
    },
    "body": {
        "error": {
            "code": "invalidRequest",
            "message": "Invalid request",
            "innerError": {
                "code": "ErrorInvalidIdMalformed",
                "date": "2023-01-27T09:00:55",
                "request-id": "2eaea058-e7ed-46dd-9f6b-c51935791321",
                "client-request-id": "2eaea058-e7ed-46dd-9f6b-c51935791321"
            }
        }
    }
}

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, or what the correct settings would be to ensure that the To-Do task updates after being edited on the SharePoint list?

Thank you in advance!
