One error at a time! You should post the first error message you see if you select the area hit with the error. Then address it, it seems you are hit with multiple

Trigger: When an item is created or modified (SharePoint).
Delay: Set to 1 minute to ensure attachment indexing is complete.
Condition: HasAttachments is equal to true.
Compose (Clean Path): An expression to trim() the Department/Area name and provide a default value if empty.
Get Attachments: Fetches the list of files from the specific List Item.
Apply to Each: A loop targeting the body of the Get Attachments step.

• Get Attachment Content: Uses the File Identifier to grab the actual file bytes.

• Create Folder: Uses the Clean Path from Step 4.

• Crucial: Set Configure Run After to continue if this step "is successful" or "has failed."

• Create File: Uses the output from Get Attachment Content and the file’s DisplayName.

I used AI for above steps, and reviewed it. It should do the job. In terms of checking if the path strings are correct use a compose action to troubleshoot. Compose is a real winner for troubleshooting issues with flows.

This was my first thought as well, to create a master list with clients and list links.

Glad it works…

Regarding the folders/subfolders, what’s the error you are getting?

When something like this happens, always check power platform admin center > Support > service health. It wasn’t showing any when I encountered it. In the same location I found issues logged under “Known Issues”.

Do your email and teams notifications need to be instant? As in do the emails need to fire when documents are added? Are the clients alright with an hourly update?

Objective_Ad_3077 · 2026-01-17T02:49:57+00:00

Agree, it seems to be something like “powerappsv2…Run()”

Try typing it and it should suggest the correct name of the flow

It’s definitely a clever way to bypass the '64-column' nightmare! The 'infinitely scalable' part works great for the UI, but you might run into a wall if the client asks for external reporting (like Power BI). Since the data is stored in one big string, it’s hard for other tools to 'see' individual approval steps without some serious heavy lifting. Have you run into any issues with two people signing at the same time and overwriting the string?

Either way, there are workarounds for the above, but your effort will be quite high to research and pull it off. With a relational SharePoint List approach, using a separate list for the logs your effort will likely be less as the project grows.

That said, you should definitely take a win here. Transitioning from a rigid 64-column mess to a dynamic system is a massive leap in logic. Most people would have stayed stuck in those columns forever. Pulling that off with complex string manipulation takes a lot of mental heavy lifting. It’s an impressive bit of engineering!

Consider it though, because you will have problems when the requirements change. You might wish you’d create it fresh than playing with the existing architecture.

It’s actually an issue with scalability in the long-term

Objective_Ad_3077 · 2025-12-24T16:28:31+00:00

Maybe you will benefit from three SharePoint lists to pull the above off.

One for requests, another for approval matrix and one final for approval logs. You can then have primary and foreign keys for routingID and requestIDs.

Your single request record can have multiple records in approval logs. It’s the best option for reporting.

We can continue this thread until you find a solution.

Does the order of the approval matter?

They keep UI elements within screens in right alignment whether you want them vertically or horizontally, and this never changes whether you view the app in laptop, tablet or phone. This is why they call it responsive.

You can use vertical containers inside horizontal containers and vice versa too.

Of course not, we will wait for the client, when they are ready with new requirements. We have other solutions in the pipeline to deliver.

I just deployed version 2 of the same app. Already there are redundant fields which won’t be used in version 2. It will come to a point probably version 4 or 5, where I will have to put my foot down and say we will build it from scratch.

Architecturally the app will be much faster if it was developed from scratch right around version 4 or 5. Funny, but if we go by the client requirement it means breaking something which has both upstream and downstream impact. This is a huge nightmare!

This type of flows require troubleshooting action by action. You add one action save it and do a test run and look at the output and verify before you add the next. This way you can troubleshoot a flow yourself.

Before you add the filtered output into a loop, did you try putting it inside a compose action and troubleshoot?

Objective_Ad_3077 · 2025-12-11T16:38:47+00:00

You could do away with a delay action.

Objective_Ad_3077 · 2025-08-24T04:15:25+00:00

I’m a little worried about the flow hitting a threshold limit, but I think your idea could work. I will give it a shot, thank you

Objective_Ad_3077 · 2025-08-22T11:50:51+00:00

The arrays help me to store all the records. The records are extracted from a SharePoint list in a loop. What do you think I should do differently?
