Introducing "Request sign-off" - an approval flow that requires no set up
Hi @Keremt Yuceturk, many thanks for the quick response. I am aware that this new Sign Off does not use the Approval Status column hence my post. I looked at the release 'Set Content Approval Status' and have had a go at creating a Flow for a 'document' library, however as others have commented in other posts, this is not available for document libraries, only list libraries (unless there has been an update to this in the last few weeks). If you can point me to a blog/post/help article relating to how to create an approval that interacts with the 'Approval Status' column; meaning when a user receives the Approval email with the Approve/Reject buttons, that when the click on Approve button in the email the flow actually updates the Approval Status to 'Approved'. All posts that i have seen have been based on creating your own Approval Status column and using that instead. Hope this makes sense.
Hi Tanya Denton, the Etag needs to be set for libraries (pages and other files) to succeed. It is a bug that we don't clearly state that, and the ETag is hidden under advanced settings. We will fix that soon. You can get the ETag using the Get file metadata action in Flow.
Feel free to send me a private message with the specifics of your flow if that doesn't work for you.
