Using bNewDocumentUpdate to avoid the infinite loop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am using "When an item is created or modified" trigger. As updating the item re-triggers, I read this blog or that, and added bNewDocumentUpdate like this, but it still retriggers.

Here is my simple flow with that issue:

Question #1: Did I miss any in my HTTP request? OR are those blogs wrong?

 

Question #2: When this re-triggering happens, I need to stop this flow. The only way I know is to delete the item being created or modified from the list. I tried to turn off the Flow but it retriggered as soon as I turned it on. Is there any better way?
