Sharepoint list version control - determine changes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a flow that triggers when a list item is changed. I am looking for when the status changes to a few specific values. Based on if the trigger condition is met, I want to send an email to notify folks of the change. I am finding that the trigger is not always working as the conditions are not being met in the flow. After some digging, I found that if the list item is double-clicked to edit, and three fields are changed, each field change is considered a different version, and my flow conditions may fail because of that. 

On the contrary, if the item is selected from the list and then EDIT clicked from the toolbar, if three fields are changed, they will all be saved under one version when the SAVE button is pressed. My workflows will always trigger correctly in this instance. 

Is there a way to stop folks from double-clicking to change a list item and force them to select/edit?

    Hi @AnnetteM ,

     

    Please turn off this setting for the list.

    Please note that if you turn off this setting, the 'Edit in grid view' button will hide.
