SharePoint - Grabbing the unique identifier (ID) from "Create new folder" results

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hello,

 

I am trying to replicate a branch that a previous user had created. On the right after using the "Create new folder" they were able to pull the unique ID for that folder in the "Grant access to an item or a folder" block. I am not seeing a way to dynamically add that unique ID to my branch on the left:

Is this a symptom of deprecation or am I missing something?

 

I appreciate the help! Thank you.

    Hi @ZGaffas ,

     

    What happens whn you click on the ID field in your grant access action?  Sometimes it is hidden and you have to click on Show More.

     

    Its definately still there.

    Hello Eric! Thank you for the prompt response.

     

    When I select the ID I get the Dynamic search for actions I have done in the flow but the window for "Create a folder" does not even appear:

    When I click see more, I get more fields from that specific action but nothing related to the SharePoint folder creation.

     

    I saw from your screenshot that it is still there so is it related to being in a condition?

    Hi @ZGaffas ,

     

    Its due to the dynamic values for site, library etc in your create folder action.

     

    As a test, if you remove those and select them from the options available within the connector, you should see ID
