Hi,

I was doing this flow design below to copy my created document within the library into a list. It seems to copy the file but the contents of the file were not copied. Do i need to add additional steps?

Hi @powerdevkris ,

According to my test, no need to add additional steps, please check:

We are using the same actions actually, and you can check the dynamic contents to see whether you missed something. But this flow will add same attachment to each item of the list, you can add some filter query in "Get items" action to avoid this.

Hi @HenWang

Thank you for checking my post

Double check my flow and its the same as yours. The only thing being copied is my excel file and the table structure i have created on it. But the add row table data that i did is missing on the list. But the library file have a row data when i open it.

I thing i did is remove the create file action and do just copy the existing file. That seems to include the row data i have created. Not sure if the flow should have a delay when copying files?

I wonder if creating just a document link in the list pointed to the library file would be better. Though this one i have not tried yet
