Hi
The SharePoint library doesn't capture the form responder email ID into a default 'Created By' column. The flow connector Email ID is showed as Created By user. How can I fix this?
Basically I am trying create a couple of folders and subfolders when the ms form request is submitted.
Expected Result:
Library name column:
Year (Folder) - Code (Folder) - Client Name (Folder) - X, Y,Z (Subfolders).
Library 'Created By' Column - Should be form responder's email ID.
Create a view - Group By - Year ie., Default 'Name' Column
Can someone advice?
I understand what you are trying to do, but the created by and modified by fields are system fields and can't be changed directly in a flow. They can be modified using an HTTP rest call. So right after you create each folder you will need to follow the instructions in the blog I posted to modify the Created by and Modified by fields to the values you want. There is no other way.
You'll need to create the folder first and let it default to the flow maker's identity. You can then change the created by and modified by fields using an HTTP REST call. Take a look at the following BLOG post for the details of the REST call you need. #FlowNinja hack 78 - modifying Modified By and Modified time with Microsoft Flow — John Liu .NET Note: Editor is the Modified by field, Author is the Created by.
