Updating a Hyperlink field (both url and description) using Flow?
I too found updating the hyperlink description much harder than it should be. The best solution that worked for me is detailed below.
I had a client ask for the ability to export individual items to Excel. SPO export function by default exports all items so long story short I ended up using Flow. I used the below action to update the URL to the CSV file and changed the display name to "CSV"
TestURL2 is the column name
Hi,
I have tried your solution, but I have an code error 412.
message": "La valeur « » ETag de la demande ne correspond pas à la valeur « \"4\" » ETag de l'objet.
The message are in french ,but that said : Etag Request doesn't match to value 4 of the Etag Object.
Please can you help me?
1. Could it be that your column name is actually different to the display name?
You can check this by browsing to the URL
https://<sharepoint server or tenant>/<site collection>/<subsite>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('<listname>')/Items
Then view the source which will display what your columns are actually named.
2. Check that the "type" is correct. This can also be found in the source above
3. Check that the destination column you are trying to update, is the type "Hyperlink or Picture"
See how you go with that. If you still can't find the issue, send screenshots of your flow, attach the source file and screenshot the column type in list settings
- unfortunately taxonomy values are not yet supported in Flow for tagging. it does not work.
