Hi Cathy Dew.

Are there any updates to this? I am creating a Logic App at the moment where I need to publish documents.

At the moment, they get uploaded as 0.1, my logic app updates their properties to 0.2 but I need them to be at 1.0 for users to actually see them.

At the moment it looks like I need to call an Azure Function to perform this step, but I REALLY want to avoid that.

Thanks

Mark

cc/ Jeremy Thake - Did you find another way to perform this action?

I am also trying to publish a document by using a flow action "Set content approval status".

The document is in draft state.

I get an error the flow debugger

{
"message": "The current state of the item is Draft and the following action Approve cannot be implemented\"\r\nclientRequestId: fdb16f40-8072-400b-xxxxxxx",
"status": 502,

Appreciate any guidance.

You first have to "submit/publish" it from draft to pending for approval afterwards you can approve or reject. Unfortunately approve or reject has no impact #Bug I raised a support ticket last week. Feel free to reference it.
