Hi Everyone

 

I have build a flow for updating one column in my sharepoint List

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio

     

    If i am correct, there are already some items in list before the flow was created, so u want to modify those records so that user id can be created for those ?

     

    If that is case, write a trigger condition like below

     

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1715565554305.png

     

    @or(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Product'],null),empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/Product']))

     

    This expression is checking whether the Product column is empty or null, in your case, it should be User ID column, so your flow triggers only when the User ID is null or empty.

    Thanks for the response @Nived_Nambiar 

     

    The flow will trigger when a new item is created or modified 

     

    In my case , iam updating a certain column which will trigger the flow for creating the unique ID for my list

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio 

     

    So flow should be trigger when user created item / not edited right ?

    If yes - use the below trigger which triggers the flow when record is created

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar 

     

    Thanks for the response,

     

    I was trying to create a unique User ID Column for my records in sharepoint list 

     

    I have created another column for triggering the automate ( yes /No)

     

    when I update the triggering column, the flow should run and update the user id column with the ID details (Created by date and time)   

    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/Created'],'yyyyhhmmss')

    for first 100 records the User ID was created using the flow

    for the rest of the records, it is showing a sync issue in SharePoint list, and the flow keeps running continuously

     

    Could u please suggest me a solution

     

    Is there is any way to fix the SharePoint list synch isue

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio 

     

    This happens because update item action itself triggers the trigger again as trigger works when item is modified or created 🙂

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1715500309004.png

     

    To avoid this , we have to add a condition which prevents it from updating all the time when item is updated.

     

    Could you explain what you are doing with record and what you are trying to update so that we can make condition accordingly 🙂

    Thanks & Regards,
