cant move sharepoint folder

Posted on by musie95

Hello,

I'm making a flow that needs to copy a folder with the files in it to an other site.

I've added the move folder function in my flow like this:

But when I run the flow I get an error: The response is not in a JSON format.

I also tried moving the folder manually on the SharePoint site. before I could move the folder I got a message saying that the folder or file contains metadata that will be when I moved the folder. I need to confirm that I still want to move the folder. After that the folder moves succesfully to the new location.

Could the metadata on the folder block the move?

If so how can I force the move of the folder?

Have additional columns been added to the source library?

The source library has one extra column. But that column is empty on files and folders.
Could that column be the problem?

I ran a test and was unable to move a folder unless the columns in the source library exist in the destination library.

I added the extra column to the destination site but I still get the same error.
I now removed the column from both libraries but I still get the same error when trying to move the folder

@ScottShearer
I already solved it by first creating a new folder at the destination site and then I deleted the folder at the source site.
Thank you for the time you invested in helping me.
