Hi people,
I have a simple flow to collect files "pdfs" from a sharepoint folder, process them based on the given name and then move each file to the folder where is belongs. Some files however can not be seen at all when I am using Get files (properties only). I tried to filter the array on one of them based on the file name but it couldn't be found. Any thoughts?
I couldn't find any similar case in the Forums so forgive me if the question has been asked before.
Still not working !!😪
It's May 2023 today and I can confirm that the issue still exists.
I used the "Get file (properties only)" action and was returning items for a target folder with subfolders and PDFs. However, returning 0 item for a folder all with XLSX files (no subfolders).
Turning off "Include Nested Item" property fixed the issue for me.
This worked for me:
Hard code the File Identifier value in the 'Get File Content' Action by pasting in the File Identifier:
does anyone know if this bug has been fixed?
@maheshdadhich
it's so desperate to figure out the issue and trial and error for a workaround.
I originally wanna spend the day on another flow, now I have used the day to figure out and manage this error which caused my flow failed. (cry cry cry)
P.S. is that a bug found by other used or an official limitations mentioned in official statement?
That's right ! It was same for me. It was working for one library but not for other library. I have read in one post Its a bug in the product. But Its good that some how Its working
Thanks @maheshdadhich
Yes, you are right.
I do a lots of test and later today I found it out if I fill up that field I can get the correct number of entries.
Actually it's weird because my flow was set and run correctly before.
I guess there may be some updates from Microsoft.
I tested over different file library and found even if I left that field blank, I can get the right no. of entries.
The problem just happens to this particular library.
Further investigation found files created after around July 30 was not listed.
Therefore I guess something changed by Microsoft.
Anyway, glad it's fine now.
Please try to put "Include Nested Item" property s No. It worked for me
I also have the same issue.
My folder only have 18 files, but i found the "get files" only retrieved 12 files.
I didn't apply any filter at all.
I also didn't activate pagination or top count.
Please help.
I also have the same Issue. My requirement is to delete the files from Office 365 Sharepoint library which are older than 3 days. I am able to delete files from one folder through MS flow but If I use the same MS Flow for another library It does not work. It does not list the file in Get File(Property Only) activity. I checked the response of the activity and there is no file listed there. However there is no error in flow and It get success without any error. Also , Permission level is also same for the both the folder and It has edit permission for both the library
