Flow to sharepoint list - Update Item - without matching ID's

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have 2 sharepoint lists,

List A - EWO App

List B - EWO for maintenance

The flow I have is below:

When a list item is modified in List A, update that Item in List B

The flow works fine when I have the ID field set to ID, but the problem is that the list ID's are not the same between both lists (List B has a lot more items) so I am looking for another solution to use in the ID field. I have tried using title since the titles are unique but the flow keeps failing.

any ideas?

Found a solution

I created a column in LIST B and in my create flow I set this columns value to the ID of the item from LIST A
EX -
LIST A ID = 19, when an Item in created LIST B ID = 3599 and AID = 19

then on my modify item flow I added 'Get Items' and under advanced options/filter query I set AID equal to the ID of list A and set the count to 1.

I had some errors here so I had to remove the filter query and run the get items and check the results, AID was not the true name of the column it turned out to be UniqueID0 so I had to set my filter query to "UniqueID0 eq ID"
after Get items I added the update item property to flow and filled in the fields normally.

Worth nothing I had to make sure under update items I had to make sure AID had the ID field for List A again and not List B.

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately I think my question is the same but I'm still quite confused. I have a flow that is currently doing the following steps but I want to take it to the next level.
- When a MS form is submitted > Teams Approval Process 1 kicked off & Item created on Pending Requests SharePoint list.
- If this request is approved > a second Teams Approval Process (2) is kicked off
- If the second Teams Approval Process (2) is approved > an item is created on the Approved Requests SharePoint list

I'm struggling on updating the 'Status' column on the Pending Request list of the original created item. Can you help me with this flow please? I have tried starting a whole new flow based on when a new item is created on the 'Approved Request' list but I'm struggling on how to point it to update the corresponding item on the 'Pending Request' list.

Thanks for your help!
