Problem with get item dynamic value returning null

Posted on by moder4t

Hello, hopefully my english is good enough.

I am trying to build a very simple flow, basically I am using the GET ITEM connector to get a line from a sharepoint list, and then I will use CREATE ITEM to duplicate the item in the same list, pretty straight foward. my issue is that the get item return value, as we can see in this output screenshot:

but when I try to use those dynamic value with the create item, everything is null.
I have tried using a parse json connector, puting everything in a variable or compose action, the input from the create item will always be null (unless I hard code it)

any idea why?

Thanks for the answer, 99% of the values are not null like those one:

but even trying to use those one dynamicly, it will give a null input for the create item connector:

Have you checked whether the item is created in list 2 with required values, just to confirm ?

Yes, I think I might have found the problem, I have switch the flow owner for a service account that didnt have permission on the sharepoint list, probably why it would read but not right! Will test my assumption after launch and close the issue if it was this.

Re: Problem with get item dynamic value returning null

it was indeed the problem, remember people, always check the flow's owner permission when working on a sharepoint!

Thanks!
