Updating a Hyperlink field (both url and description) using Flow?

I tried using the update item action to set a Hyperlink type column in my custom list. The Flow field for this column only accepts the url so there seems to be no way to add the description part. Any...

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
