ShayneTSGTried to replicate your use case and it seems to work for me:  I am populating the URL in 2 columns in one as a string and other in hyperlink

Then the following is the flow structure:

I have declared a variable and set the value by concatenating the Folder site URL + FullPath. One tthing read the Full Path from Create New Folder Action

The formula is

 

 

concat('https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/',body('Create_new_folder')?['{FullPath}'])

Then once you have the full path set it in your list item. This is the flow structure you need to follow:

      I have managed to get the concat to work, and it completes when tested. However it is filling the information into another record within the list instead of the one I am creating. Any advice?

       

      Thanks in advance

        ShayneTSGI think the ID you are selecting to update might be the wrong ID, please make sure you select the ID of the SharePoint Item.

      ShayneTSGI think there is some issue with your concat formula:

       

      It should look something like this:

      concat('https://YourTenant.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSite/',body('Create_new_folder')?['{FullPath}'])

       

      Replace the things in red only and check.

       

      Thanks,
      Vik
