Power automate update sharepoint properties locked file issue
Hello, We have developed a Power Automate document approval workflow running on a document library. However, the workflow is unable to update any of the document properties through the SharePoint connector "Update file properties". This is because the document is opened by the authors/ reviewers etc while the workflow is running. A separate "on document creation" Power automate workflow that updates document properties (e.g. pre-populates manager) doesn't work either as when the user clicks on new it by default opens the document. This locking of the file was never an issue with previous SharePoint versions (e.g. using SharePoint Designer workflows).
