Get Items not uploading to SharePoint list after flow runs

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 86
I have a flow that uses Get Items Filter Query that is supposed to Get Items from original SharePoint list (over 10,000 records) based on Start Date and Accept status and then create these items in second SharePoint list.  See filter query below.  About a month ago, it stopped creating items in the second list. 
 
It's supposed to look at the original list, get items that are "Accept" and StartDate greater than today, and less than two weeks and create those items within this timeframe in another SharePoint list.  I thought it was that the OData filter needed to be wrapped in 'datetime' and changed the varToday and varTwoWeeks to datetime'2026-06-15T00:00:00Z'.  I was also originally using an Output on the Get date in 2 weeks, changed this to varTwoWeeks. I also noticed that the Filter Query keeps reverting my expressions back to variables.  The other real issue for me is that since the flow isn't failing, I can't tell where the issue is, I'm assuming it's the Get items because this is the action that isn't producing it's intended outcome.  Any help is appreciated here. This was working fine until around the end of May and then no new items to the second list. 
 
When I look at the Filter Query on the completed run, AcceptDecline eq 'Accept' and StartDate ge datetime'2026-06-12T00:00:00Z' and StartDate lt datetime'2026-07-04T00:00:00Z' and the raw Outputs doesn't show any items after "value":[]}}
 
The Value on varToday - Expression - formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(), -4),'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z
The Value on varTwoWeeks - Expression - formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),18),'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z
 
Filter Query
AcceptDelcline eq 'Accept'
and StartDate ge datetime'varToday' 
and StartDate lt datetime'varTwoWeeks'
and (PAFCreatedFlag eq null or PAFCreatedFlag eq 'No')

    Please confirm the pagination settings for the Get Items action. For a list of over 10,000 records, try 12,000.
    Example:
     
    Screenshot showing the standard Get Items action in Power Automate with Pagination enabled from the settings menu and the threshold value set to 20,000.

    Based on your symptoms, the issue is most likely one of the following:
    • The PAFCreatedFlag filter no longer matches the underlying data.
    • A column's internal name differs from the one used in the filter.
    • The date window no longer contains any qualifying records.
    Since the flow succeeds and value is empty, the problem is almost certainly that the filter criteria are excluding all items rather than the flow itself failing.

    Two issues causing empty results.

    1. Typo in column name: your filter has AcceptDelcline (d and l swapped) but the actual column is AcceptDecline. SharePoint OData filters fail silently when the column name doesn't match — returns empty value:[] without an error. This is most likely why it stopped working.

    2. Variable substitution issue: datetime'varToday' passes the literal text "varToday" not the actual date value. Remove the datetime'' wrapper and use the variable directly:
    AcceptDecline eq 'Accept' and StartDate ge '@{variables('varToday')}' and StartDate lt '@{variables('varTwoWeeks')}' and (PAFCreatedFlag eq null or PAFCreatedFlag eq 'No')

    The ISO 8601 format your variables produce (2026-06-12T00:00:00Z) works directly in SharePoint OData without any datetime prefix.

    Fix the typo first, that alone may restore the results. Then correct the variable syntax to ensure dates are being substituted properly.

    Thank you all for your quick response!  It is appreciated. 
     
    Valantis,
    • typo was error on my end passing to you, it is correct in the system with no typo.
    • I removed the datetime wrapper. 
    Ellis Karim,
    • there was no pagination set at all. I enabled it and added the 12000 as recommended. 
    11Manish,
    • Why would the "the PAFCreatedFlag filter no longer match the underlying data", nothing has changed with the data. Not sure I understand this completely. 
    • the columns internal name is still the same StartDate (no changes here) from when it was originally working. 
    • The date window contains qualifying records; this date would be 6/29/2026 (56 records from the original SharePoint list that I had to manually enter into the second SharePoint list that didn't create).
    • This date is greater than today, less than three weeks. 
    Now that I have manually created the 56 missing records in the second SharePoint list, after making these changes, I will be worried about resubmitting the flow, as it will create duplicates in the list. The next scheduled run for this would be around 7/1/2026.
