Introduction In this blog post, we’ll explore how to trigger a single Power Automate flow from multiple SharePoint libraries and sites. This approach is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to standardize workflows across different document libraries and sites. It will avoid the need replicating the flows multiple times which may be harder to maintain and deploy. The For a selected file action is used to achieve this. I have tried the Manually trigger a flowin vain as the context (site URL, library ID/name, and item ID) is not passed to the flow.

Using column formatting in SharePoint, you can update the values of other fields using the setValue function.

Get Folder Item properties using PnP PowerShell : Get-PnPFolderItem versus Get-PnPListItem Introduction In this blog post, we will explore an alternative approach to retrieving folder item properties using PnP PowerShell. We will discuss the limitations of the Get-PnPFolderItem cmdlet and demonstrate how to use Get-PnPListItem to overcome those limitations. The Limitations of Get-PnPFolderItem The Get-PnPFolderItem cmdlet is not suitable for working with large libraries. When attempting to retrieve items from a large library, you may encounter the following error message:

SharePoint Column Formatting for Document libraries: Leveraging Name, Folder and Path properties While referencing [$Title] in lists is straightforward, document libraries demand a nuanced approach. Instead of [$Name], had to delve into the intricacies of internal names like $FileLeafRef and $FileRef when working with column formatting. $FileLeafRef: Denotes the name of the file. $FileRef: Represents the server-relative URL of the file.
