Content Approval Status Reverts to Pending After Approve/Reject Power Automate Flow - Please help!
Hello:
I have a Power Automate Flow that works that Succeeds when using the Template "Request approval (first to respond) for a selected file. I approve or reject and Content Approval Status will show Approved for about 30 seconds and then it reverts to Pending. To confirm:
- I am using SP Online in Microsoft 365
- I am using Versioning (Major) only
- I am setting the Content Approval Status
- All Green Checkmarks in the Flow
- I even added an Update Files Properties - no avail
The Approval Status updates to Approved then returns to Pending!
Can someone please advise on how to fix this please? I am completely stuck and have researched with trial and error with no success for days!
Here are some screenshots to help:
Thank you in advance!

lysandraowen Move Set content approval status 4 so it's after Update file properties. If a change is made after you set the Set Content approval status 4 is done, it will reset it to pending.
- PamDeGraffenreid, thank you I really appreciate your reply. I have set the Content Approval as the last step in multiple versions of the flow and it updates, but again reverts, regardless of where I put the Set Content Approval. I see it go to Approved and then watch it disappear. The Update File Properties was a revision after multiple attempts.
- Happy to take a look if you want to post the updated copy. Are there any other flows running on the list?
