If you can post screenshots of your flow I'll take a look and see if I can see what's causing that.

      This was the only way I could update the PromotedState field:

      _api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Site Pages')/items(###)/validateUpdateListItem

{
  "formValues": [
    {
      "FieldName": "PromotedState",
      "FieldValue": "2"
    }
  ]
}

    Thanks, I was just careless and missed one typing error. Now the script runs fine and no errors but when I go back to Sharepoint every item that script found is still in promoted state 2.
