Wanting to update single item all matching items are updated.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Completely lost here.  Thought this would be pretty basic.

 

Using Sharepoint List as an "Issue Tracker" from the Microsoft Lists feature.

 

When I tag an item Status "Completed" I want PA to go ahead and add the current date to a field "Closed".

I have tried several "When an item is created or modified" -> Condition Status=Changed ->True -> Update Item Closed = "Current Date"

And maybe I'm just not understanding things, but the PA script processes EVERY row in the list even though I have "ID" specified in the Update Item section.  So every item that has a status of "Completed" the closed field is updated to "Today".

 

Frustrating, probably just my understanding of it...

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Has your problem been solved? 

    Where does the ID in your Update item action come from? Is it from Trigger?

    I tried to reproduce your scenario but it works fine for me.

    This is my test list.

    Save and test the Flow.

    When the item Status is changed to "Completed", the current date will be added to "Closed".

    You are showing "ID: from trigger" but all I have is "ID" I assume this is from the trigger, but no matter, it is my only option.

    I did get this to work, I believe your use of nested conditions is what did it. 

     

    Thank you!
