Get Items in my Flow is pulling one record for testing

IPC_ahaas_0-1663773563211.png

Here is that record in the list:

IPC_ahaas_1-1663773630185.png

It's returns "StartTime" as "StartDate" and "EndTime" as "EndDate"

IPC_ahaas_2-1663773711463.png

There is no "StartDate" and "EndDate" in this list:

IPC_ahaas_3-1663773755661.png

    Hi @IPC_ahaas,

     

    Did you by any chance rename the display name of the field after you created it?

     

    That label in the response is the internal field name. If you renamed it would still show the original name of when you created the field.

    Oh good grief, Microsoft!

     

    I'll ask the obvious question, is it even possible to change the Internal Name?

    Hi @IPC_ahaas,

     

    No, unfortunately that value is store in the staticname field which is reserved for internal use and cannot be updated:

    I would workaround this by using a Select action and use a custom mapping. This way you can manipulate the way you want to display the names of the fields yourself (in the key column).

    I renamed the columns to their original names, then added new columns with the desired names.

    I then built a Flow that takes the values from the old columns and inserts them into the new columns for each item.
