Passing Library Name into Action

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 40

Hello, 

 

So I have complex flow and I am at the end of it. I need to pass an expression into "Get a Shared Link" and it works except for the Library Name. You have the option to use their drop down or dynamic content. I tried a couple ways to pass my expression into it, but I keep getting "The Specified List was not found."

 

I've even tried just putting a string into this field, identical to what is in the drop down. It fails the same way.

Thoughts? Is it possible to do this? I asked Flow on twitter and they told me to post here.

    I've replied this separately on twitter with a bunch of screenshots. Hope that gets you a bit further.

    So this is clearly a bug.

    Two screenshots attached. One is the flow with the action opened. The other is the error I get.

     

    "Public Documents" does exist.

    Hi @jfedorowicz,

     

    Could you please share a full screenshot of the configuration of your flow? 

    I couldn’t find the "Get a Shared Link" action that you mentioned in Microsoft flow connector, could you please share more details about the "Get a Shared Link" action? Or could you please share a screenshot of it?

    Could you please share more details about your requirement so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Barry
