File path issue within approval flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AndrewGeddes 47

Hi Folks, I'm encountering a weird issue with an approval workflow - the link to the item being generated by file path is truncating in a way that I'm not sure how to correct. It's discarding any part of the url structure preceeding the site itself.  Here's what I mean...

 

The proper link would be: https://(company.sharepoint.com)/sites/sitename/library/file

The link it's giving approvers using the dynamic link you see below is: https:///sitename/library/file

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First thing that I noticed is that the Dynamic content isn't appearing proeprly

     

    the x-ms-file-path should say File path. You migth want to remove them and re-add them.

     

    Also the link description I would fill with something. Anyway I'm seeing the same thing and this is expected. The File Path is a site relative URL therefreoe you should first type the url of the site and then add the File Path.
