Move To Action is not retaining Content Type for XML files

Posted on by 1,351 Super User 2026 Season 1
Hi All,
 
I have a flow that is very simple. It moves a file from a Drop Off Library to another Library in a SharePoint Site. The Libraries both have the same Content Types.
 
For files where the extension is known by SharePoint such as txt or doc, the selected Content Type from the first library is shown in the destination library.
 
For files where the extension is XML, the Content Type is set to Folder instead of the Content Type that was selected.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Should I try using a SharePoint REST call instead to move the file?
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
-Mark
