In the update file properties action, for any fields that are not-mandatory, if you are not updating the metadata then just leave the field blank. That will leave the metadata the same as it was before. It's the same with the update items actions when you're working with lists. I suspect that original answer wasn't the work pf Leon but was from ChatGPT which, as so often, missed out a vital part. I think it only should have only a marginal place in our community for a long time to come.

- Hey Rob, thanks for your help!
Actually im wondering why some of the columns, that i edited as mandatory, are not shown as mandatory in power automate. All the columns you see in the library i want to be filled by power automate.
If its not bothering your or someone else to much can you please give me an example of a workflow that fills the metadata in an library when a new document is created?
