Hello! I'm creating a flow in Power Automate to get approval for a document which was created through a Microsoft List. The flow consists of the following steps:

A file is selected in the SharePoint library (trigger).
The flow retrieves the file's properties using the 'Get file properties' action.
An approval request is sent using the 'Start and wait for an approval' action.
The 'Link to item' dynamic content is included in the approval request to allow the approver to access the file.

The issue is that when the approver clicks the link provided in the approval email, the document appears empty (however, the name of the document is correct, so it chooses the correct one!). However, when I click on the document, it appears correctly filled out.

I suspect it could be related to how the 'Link to item' dynamic content is generated or possible permission settings, but I’m not sure. How can I fix this flow so that the approver can open the document and view it without issues?

Any help would be appreciated!
