Is there a way to stop an attachment to a planner task being flagged as "Show on Card"?

(1) ShareShare

This is my first post to the Power Automate Community Forums - apologies in advance if I get any protocols wrong.

 

I have created a Flow that takes an e-mail, creates a Planner task and then (via SharePoint) appends any e-mail attachments as attachments to the Planner task. I'm using an array variable to manage all the attachments in one go when I use Update Task Details and it all works fine, but the problem is that the last file attached to the task has "Show On Card" selected.

 

Is there a way to stop the Show On Task attribute being set to true for the last attachment? I have been looking for references to the attributes for an attachment to see if I can add something like "setShowOnCardFlag": False (using the Dynamic Content entry facility or otherwise) to that I set up in the Append to Array Variable action in the Apply to Each loop. In code view, the Append to Array "value" entry currently looks like this:

 

{
"alias": @{body('Create_new_folder')?['{Name}']},
"resourceLink": @{body('Create_sharing_link_for_a_file_or_folder')?['link']}
}

 

Many thanks,

 

Rob

    Hello,

     

    Unfortunately, there is no Out-of-the-Box option to change the "Show on card" value from flow.

    Many thanks - this is what I was anticipating. 

     

    I will set your response as the solution, as I trust that the inability to carry out the task in the original query is, essentially, the solution that others would appreciate knowing.

     

    Kind regards,

    Hi!

    What should be shown on card instead?

    Thanx!

    Ideally, we just want the title of the task and the icons showing the people to whom the task has been assigned. We have a lot of tasks come through each day and really just want to reduce the column inches taken up by an individual task.

     

    Cheers!
