ValidateUpdateListItem to update Metadata in Sharepoint item

Hi,

I've been struggling with this issue for quite some time now.

What I try to do is to update metadata for an item in a sharepoint library. The functionality is that once a file is modified the approval process will reset back to draft (from "Approved").

As the file keeps getting modified (even though nothing is modified) as it creates a new version every time it is checked in. I need to have the check-out/check-in functionality by demand from the client.

I read that a ValidateUpdateListItem could update the metadata without creating a new version by skipping the check-out/check-in functionalty. The flow works fine until it reaches the step "Update ContenStatus to Approved".

It keeps on trying to get past this step

Does anyone know a solution for this and can help me with the parameters?

Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

Hi @TG-23080511-0,

I see you have quotes around the item id value in the items part of your URI. Can you try it without single quotes?

Below is an example URI to demonstrate

In my example the ID of the file is 1 with the Document library with the name Your Library Name.

_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Your Library Name')/items(1)/validateUpdateListItem

Happy to help out 😁
