Hello,

I'm experiencing a serious caching issue with the SharePoint "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger in Power Automate.

**Problem:**
When multiple files are uploaded to a SharePoint folder, the trigger always returns the filename of the FIRST file uploaded by me, regardless of which file actually triggered the flow.

**Example:**
1. I upload "FileA.jpg" → Flow runs → Registers "FileA.jpg" ✅ Correct
2. I upload "FileB.jpg" → Flow runs → Registers "FileA.jpg" ❌ Wrong (should be FileB.jpg)
3. Another user uploads "FileC.jpg" → Flow runs → Registers "FileA.jpg" ❌ Wrong
4. I upload "FileD.jpg" → Flow runs → Registers "FileA.jpg" ❌ Wrong

**What I've tried:**
- Deleted and recreated the flow multiple times
- Deleted and recreated the SharePoint connection
- Changed from split-on enabled to disabled
- Verified trigger output in run history - the trigger itself returns cached data
- The issue persists across different files and different users

**Environment:**
- Trigger: "When a file is created (properties only)"
- SharePoint: Online
- Folder path: /Shared Documents/MyFolder/Scans
- Polling interval: 1 minute
- Split On: Enabled

**Trigger Output (showing cached data):**
The trigger's `{FilenameWithExtension}` always shows "FileA.jpg" even when different files are uploaded.

**Question:**
Is this a known bug with SharePoint triggers? How can I clear this cache or work around this issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
