I think if you are using normal folders then a power automate flow would be the only option.

Anyone have any ideas?Thank you.
- Did you also enter the correct item ID in the ID Field of the "update file properties" action?

I have enter the correct *Site Address, and *Library Name. It is just the *Id that is that I have enter, but where would I get the correct value to enter there please, current I have just entered a random number?
