Hi Guys,
I have to SharePoint files in different libraries on the same SharePoint site. File A is updated by MS Forms.
Then a flow starts and updates file B with the content of file A. I want to double check if the file was correctly updated afterwards.
I added a condition that checks if content of A is equal to content of B, but the outcome is always false.
Is there a way to check the content of both files in a condition?
Regards,
Hi @v-litu-msft ,
Thank you for your response, I did not expect that limit.
The flow always ran succesfully, but I saw that file B was not updated correctly. It led me to think it takes some time before file A gets updated by MS Forms, Hence i wanted to doublecheck if the file content is equal.
omparing the content of file A to itself in a condition did work correctly though.
I will try and get data from the file (Max ID or something) to see if i can get that to work.
Thanks and regards,
Hi @PVosEska,
Because the content of a file is often made up of thousands of characters, while the limit of expression is 8192 characters, it is not appropriate to use Condition to compare the contents of two files.

In fact, as long as update file content action runs successfully, there is no need to check, or you can check whether its modified time is less than one minute.
