Error on saving Sharepoint list workflow with look up field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 163

Hi, I am trying to write a flow on a Sharepoint list which has looks up fields referencing two other sharepoint lists and am getting the following error when trying to save the workflow.

 

Flow save failed with code 'DynamicOperationRequestClientFailure' and message 'The dynamic operation request to API 'sharepointonline' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'BadRequest'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 400, "message": "The required field \"Project\" data type is not supported\r\nclientRequestId: 80014255-08db-43e0-b440-06e5a8bef106\r\nserviceRequestId: 80014255-08db-43e0-b440-06e5a8bef106" }'.

 

First question - I assume that Automate can handle lookups to multiple other lists and is not limited to one? 

My scenario is: 

 

Process Governance list - has look up to Master Project list, and also has fields to look up Master Process list. 

 

 

All the flow has atm is this

and the error occurs when trying to save at this point.

 

The field that is being referenced in the error message 'Project' lives on a master list and is not a required field on that list. It may or may not be blank on the master list depending on other fields in the master list.

 

The child list "Process Governance" has a look up field "Project" which is a required field and looks up to the Project field in the master list

The Master Process list does not contain a Project field at all.

I am a bit confused by the error message as it references the data type

The required field \"Project\" data type is not supported\

Hope this is not too confusing
Thanks

    Hey Mate,

     

    >>I am a bit confused by the error message as it references the data type. The required field \"Project\" data type is not supported\

     

    • In SharePoint Open the list settings for the Process Governance list.
    • Select the 'Project' column.
    • Select 'no' for Require that this column contains information.

    Hi @CFernandes ,
    many thanks this has sorted it. I guess it was the "not supported" that threw me

    Thanks again
