Cannot get conflict behaviour to work with upload to sharePoint
Hi. I am trying to get the various settings of fail/replace/rename to work, in both C# code and when this has failed in Postman. I am using it in an upload session. The URL is https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/mysite/drives/driveidhere/root:/testfile.txt:/createUploadSession
The JSON body is
{
"@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "rename"
}
This generates a session URL and within my C# code then goes on to upload perfectly. But it always does a replace. Looking at the upload URL is shows the conflict behaviour which is always:
nameConflictBehavior=Replace
So Pernille-Eskebo.graph.conflictBehavior is not being recognised. I've tried rename and fail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

Paul_Red1 as states the documentation at driveItem resource type:
Notes: The parameter @microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior should be included in the URL instead of the body of the request.
So try to include it in the URL not in the body.

Just to say I have this working - the documentation is appalling!
The page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createuploadsession?view=graph-rest-1.0
does not show that in the request the conflict behaviour setting should be wrapped in an "item" object. Please can we have some more examples in the documentation.
Thanks
- rvpanchalCopper ContributorHi All, I am also facing the same issue in my code. While creating uploadsession, unable to get proper session created.
Even though the properties set to
"@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "fail",
Its overwriting the files.
Could any one please help. I am using golang and Code is
http.newRequest(POST, URL, Body)
Body = {
"@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": conflictOption,
"description": "",
"name": filePath,
"item": map[string]string{"@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": conflictOption},
"deferCommit": true}
Also I have tried all possible combinations for setting up properties. graph api always sending response which is overwriting the file in onedrive.
