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 spvan2019, what Deleted has posted below is the solution for updating the other list item. The only thing I'd add, is you don't need to run them as two Flows. If you have a condition at the start which compares Created Date and Modified Date, you can branch your logic, and handle both scenarios in the same Flow.
Yes of course, thanks Matt for pointing that out ... I have normally separated them for clarity and ease of maintenance. But not a big deal to do what you suggest :)
- Thank you both.

somehow, in my lists, it didn't work. I am working to see why it didn't work the same way like your. My lists do not use 'Title'. My site is still in SharePoint online 2013 I believe. I have not been able to make it work.If the filter is not title, then you need to make sure the filter is referring to the ID rather than that associated text.
This has caught me out a few times, especially for a lookup field. If using a lookup field, then use the ID field instead of the field name.
You can check this but running the workflow and seeing what was returned, with Get list
