Sharepoint Create Item not working - claims it succeeded but did not

Posted on by KayFax

Hello,

I got a flow that claims it is succeeding, but doesn't on the "create item (sp list)" action - also, the flow run is not accessible - normally one can look into it what was the input/output, but that does not work.

It is in a loop and DID work fine until a while ago. When it stopped.

I copied and rebuild everything twice already, but still the same issue.

The update item in the same flow works fine. Both are inside a For All (checking data from another SP List)

Anyone any idea?

Thanks!

Update Item History for comparison (action in run history not faded out):

Hi @KayFax

I can see the apply to each loop of create item is getting executed but it is not going through the create item. Have a look on that mapping under the Apply to each loop. Check the run history of the flow? Expand the previous steps and see whether you are mapping the right dynamic content value here. Its quite difficult to give you an exact answer without looking the flow, mapping and data.

Thanks

Hi,

thank you for the quick reply (also, thank you for your YouTube channel)

the mapping is the exact same as in the update item - which works fine.
The Create Item also "reports" to have succeeded, only that it does not.
And in the run history, the action faded out and does not expand to look at the input/output.

The trigger is:

When an item is created or modified (SPL 1)
Get Items (SPL 2 - filter if item has same id as a RefId in trigger)
Get Items (SPL 3 - filter if item has refId2 eq refid2)
For All:
Compose - text from SPL 3 & Compose another text from SPL3
Condition: length(outputs('Get_Items_SPL2')?['body/value']) is eq to 0
If yes:
For all - Create Item on outputs('Get_Items_SPL2')?['body/value'] - Map Values from SPL 1 & the two compsed from SPL3 in two columns

If no:
For All - Update Item outputs('Get_Items_SPL2')?['body/value'] - Map Values from SPL 1 & the two compsed from SPL3 in two columns (Exact same as Create, except for ID which comes from ID

The issue is - when an item is created on the trigger, it does run the flow, including the condition, and returns a "succeed" message - but it does not actually succeed (no new entry created in target list). It only displays that green check and then the faded action.

I guess it is one of those Automate glitches and I will simply have to replicate everything again...

very grateful again for the quick help! Moving the Create Item outside a for all did the trick - flow is now updating AND creating correctly. Thank you again!
