Content Approval Status Reverts to Pending After Approve/Reject Power Automate Flow - Please help!

[lysandraowen]

Hello:

I have a Power Automate Flow that works that Succeeds when using the Template "Request approval (first to respond) for a selected file.  I approve or reject and Content Approval Status will show Approved for about 30 seconds and then it reverts to Pending. To confirm:

• I am using SP Online in Microsoft 365
• I am using Versioning (Major) only
• I am setting the Content Approval Status
• All Green Checkmarks in the Flow 
• I even added an Update Files Properties - no avail

The Approval Status updates to Approved then returns to Pending!

Can someone please advise on how to fix this please? I am completely stuck and have researched with trial and error with no success for days!

Here are some screenshots to help:

Thank you in advance!

@lysandraowen  Move Set content approval status 4 so it's after Update file properties. If a change is made after you set the Set Content approval status 4 is done, it will reset it to pending.

@PamDeGraffenreid, thank you I really appreciate your reply. I have set the Content Approval as the last step in multiple versions of the flow and it updates, but again reverts, regardless of where I put the Set Content Approval. I see it go to Approved and then watch it disappear. The Update File Properties was a revision after multiple attempts.

Happy to take a look if you want to post the updated copy. Are there any other flows running on the list?

@PamDeGraffenreid, thank you.

Here is the screenshot and I even added a terminate trying to avoid a retrigger of the flow, still reverts to Pending.  With or without Terminate it updates and reverts.

Thanks again!

How is your versioning set on the list - major versions only? I came across this article https://tomriha.com/how-to-set-content-approval-status-with-power-automate/
