Use Flow to update SharePoint list Item creating duplicate items
I am trying to use Flow to meet a user's requirements to: 1. copy new items with attachments in List 1 to with attachments in List 2 2. Update changes made in List 1 to List 2 in the same site ...
Hi there,
Is there any way to avoid having duplicates. So every time an item is updated it creates a new item in the second list.
I am looking for something that stops that from happening.
Item creation in List 1 will lead to an item creation in List 2.
Item update in List 1 will lead to item being updated in List 2.
Right now the updating part doesn't happen. Updating item in List 1 leads to creating a new item in List 2.

Hi lvk5700
