Posted on by Socrates

Hello

Is there any way to set the Internal Name of a document library on creation in a Send an HTTP Request action?

i.e. The display name of the Library is 'Project Inbound Documents' but in the URL, instead of:

https://[site]/sites/123456/Project%20Inbound%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx

You get:

https://[site]/sites/123456/A1/Forms/AllItems.aspx

NB: I did a GET request on a site where we have this Display Name/Internal Name difference, and can see the field containing the internal name is "EntityTypeName", but if I used it in a POST request it wouldn't do anything.

My current HTTP Request action:

Hi @Socrates,

I believe you can use the MoveTo method to move the rootfolder of the library to a new path/address. This is described in this blog but it is also used in the Set-PnPList PowerShell cmdlet:

I have tried this in a Power Automate cloud flow with three Send an HTTP request actions. This seems to work as well, but test this properly first 😁

Hi,
@Expiscornovus Thanks really learnt a lot. Yet I facing an issue of unauthorized error.

I tried this but getting unauthorized error, I gave my self "site collection administrator in SharePoint"
and deleted the connection reconnected it. But the error is same.

Is there a way out?
