Update item does not update the item in my sharePoint list

Hi,

I have a flow which 'successfully runs'. It contains the Get Item and Update Item actions. The update item action is responsible for updating an item's date in my sharePoint list. However, when I check my sharePoint list after the flow has been run, no change is reflected.

What should I do?

Thank you!!

Hi @RM9,

It probably is because your Get Items 2 action doesn't return any items. You can check this by expanding the Get items 2 action in the flow run history and see if you have any results in your Outputs section?

When you see [] that means no items are returned. And as a result the update item won't have anything to update. Hence the greyed out action.

Hmm, I can't see [] nor the output:
When I press "click to download" I just get the statusCode 200 message. This is a snippet of the code:

Thank you - my filter query in the Get Items action was incorrect 🙂

Hi @Neha12,

Like @RM9 it is worth checking your filter query. That might be incorrect and filter too much, resulting in an empty outputs section.

Hi @Expiscornovus
Filter condition is proper, is it that I don't have proper access(owner access) because updating any item in a list requires a proper access
Thanks!

Hi,

I am having this problem also. I have a flow that I am using to add a concatenated value to a Single Line of Text column in SP. The flow is supposed to pickup each entry in my list, concatenate a standardised prefix with the SP ID for each particular entry.

The outputs all show that the field is populated, but in SP it is still blank for every entry. The field is "Asset Number".
My expression for Concatenate is concat('CAMS-ASSET-',outputs('Get_item')?['body/ID']), I have a get items followed by Get item and Update item both inside a "apply to each".
Just not sure why it's showing up as successful output in PowerAutomate but still blank in SP.

Did you get anywhere with this? Mine was working then all of a sudden, when the list got more populated, it stopped showing an output. Same body issue []. Similar flows are running from the same column and they are working fine. Everything seems identical
