How to display approval status from microsoft flow on Sharepoint O365?
Hi guys,
I'm just trying to automate the vacation request here at the company that i work for but I'm having some issues. I created a leave request list on SharePoint and I also created a flow on Microsoft Flow which is integrated to the list I have created.
Does anyone know how to get the approval status from Microsoft flow and display it on SharePoint List? If it's not possible, is there a way of doing that without creating those old Sharepoint workflows?
People used to create those process by using 2010 WorkFlows, unfortunately I don't have access to those workflows on my end and I also think that It's easier to create those flows through the new way that microsoft implemented.
Thank you!

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for stopping by and answering my post. I guess I am not following the logic. Do I need to create a column on my list called Approval like you have Accompaniments? Here is how my update step looks like right now.
Thank you.
- Yes, you would need a column to hold the approval value if you wanted it listed as part of the list item. What you would have to do is on the list itself, enable management of content types for the list. That way when you add the approval column, you can hide it from the "new" form by editing the default content type in list settings, and going to that content type and making that specific column hidden. Assuming you are collecting data here on this same form to initiate this approval flow.
- Once you set it feature, make sure you do not delete any columns that are parsed by Flow - there is one bug that I have faced, it could be resolved only by recreating Update file properties/Update item action in Flow with prior clearing up all dependencies in Flow.
