Has attachments changed in power automate

Hello Power Users,

 

I have a power automate that runs on a conditional trigger based on a column(Yes/No column) in a sharepoint list. The trigger action is when an item is created or modified.Got some checks with conditions if something has changed I have to update some fields/columns in it. I have a situation to update a column when a new attachment is attached or removed with its URL. I haven't seen a Has attachments changed from "Get Changes for an item or a file". I had this update item action to update column without any condition so that each time flow runs it will check for new attachments and update where needed.

 

But doing this the flow is falling inside infinite loops. Is there any way to check for any attachments has changed or new attachments are uploaded. Also, a way to handle flow not running into loops with Update an item action in it. Can anyone please help me in handling such situations or best practice for this case.

 

Thank you so much in advance!

    Found a quick solution.

     

    Updated the conditional trigger not to run the flow when the when the Editor (ModifiedBy) is equal to Principal account. So update item action will have this principal account name as recently modified and will not run the flow.
