I have been searching for several hours now to solve my flow problem. It's a flow to rename an archive folder and I can't seem to fix it.

Below is the capture of the flow.
I initially had a problem with the URL and finally opted for dynamic content.

Now, I no longer have an error but the name of the folder does not update

When I look at the test body, I get null

Can you help me for this flow?

To keep it simple, for the action, click the question (?) mark and it open right side help text.
Click the Microsoft documentation link and I will understand the action details that you're using it.

Thanks,
Murali.

Hi @Ulysse4733 ,

You could try the following method that uses the SharePoint item ID to rename the folder. In the example below the folder "Another Demo Library" has the ID of 72. The flow will rename this folder (item ID=72) to "Renamed Folder":

This is the HTTP request:

Here is the folder being renamed to "Renamed Folder"

_api/web/lists/GetbyTitle('Another Demo Library')/items(72)/validateUpdateListItem { "formValues": [ { "FieldName": "FileLeafRef", "FieldValue": "Renamed Folder" } ] }

Hope this helps.

Ellis

Thank you very much for your help.

What is the trigger used in the flow?

What change should trigger the flow? eg. change of date? new file created?

The trigger is the modification of an element.
For the test, I conditioned the triggering of the flow to a column of text. If it is empty: nothing to do. If it is not empty: the flow starts.
In practice, I would like to trigger the flow when the title column is modified or when a Yes/No column is modified.
