Hello Everyone,

I am new to PowerPlatform. My organization want's to move files from one library to another library if the content is older than 3 yrs.

They also want to retain folder structure, metadata such as Modified by, created by, Modified date and Created date.

I was able to do up to below steps, but I am not able to find any solution on how to append metadata after creating a files at destination.

Steps I have followed so far:

1. Recurrence

2. Get file properties only

3. Apply to each

3.1 Condition if 3 yrs old

3.2 Get file content

3.3 Create file (at destination)

3.4. Delete file (at Source)

The reason why I have used Create file is that if there is no folder structure then it can also create Folder structure at destination.

Can someone please help me out on how to append remaining columns (Modified,created,Modified By) based up on source files/folder details?

@rajkumar88 You can modify modified and modified column but I know for sure that created by and created cannot be modified.

Check this out : http://johnliu.net/blog/2019/2/flowninja-hack-78-modifying-modified-by-and-modified-time-with-microsoft-flow

Also as a workaround in the source library, you could add four custom columns created,modified, created by, modified by and have a flow in place which will update the four columns and when you move it to destination library you could use values from these four columns.

Hope this helps.

@jinivthakkar Thanks for sharing this info. I was able to make "Modified date" work. however Modified by is not working for me. I am composing using "Modified by Claims". Do you suggest I use "Modified by Displayname" so that it can able to find and update properly?

@rajkumar88 why don't you try the workaround I have given, there are very high chances that this will keep on giving issues at a later point of time also
