    Hello @Kidv97 

    Please test with the following flow. I have a successful flow with this.

    1. After parsing the form file, use the first function in the composition action to output only the name value.

      first(body('Parse_JSON')).name

    2. Next, manually enter a path other than the file name in the [Get File Metadata by Path] path, and add the Compose-first output (name value) for the file name only.
    3. Then add the output (ID) of Get File Metadata by Path to the file in the Get File Content action.

    Because I am creating a form in a site of sharepoint, an error occurs in the Get file content step. When i using Get file content using path, error still occurs.
