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 ...
Strange, if your filter is right then it should work fine. Because you should be using "update Item" and for me that does exactly what it says ... updates the item. It would only not do that if it could not find the item when you filtered it. What are you filtering on?
Filter is set to Title eq '@{triggerBody()['Title']}'
I just tested again not all items are re-created in List 2 and some items are duplicated.
Attached screenshots of the Flow setup.
Thanks!
- Have you tried to add unique constraint to the SharePoint list column. That would prevent the creation of duplicates? (Tick enforce unique values, works for a subset of column types)
