  We often get to change the name of the file, so in this article, I will explain how to rename the file in SharePoint Online using Microsoft Power Automate. Below is the file which I will be renaming. Step 1: Get the file properties We only need to have the SharePoint item id, for which we want to rename the file Step 2: Update the File Name Add the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" connector, and update the following properties Method : POST Uri : _api/web/lists/GetByTitle(' <LIBRARY TITLE> ')/items( <ITEM ID> )/ValidateUpdateListItem Body: {     "formValues" :[         {             "FieldName" : "FileLeafRef" ,             "FieldValue" : "<New File Name>"         }     ] } Execute the flow, and the file will be renamed Happy Automating..!! #PowerAutomate #SharePointWidgets #Microsoft

Hi Friends, Today blog is about renaming the folder in the document library using the MS FLOW or MS Power Automate. When I started working on this it seems to be an easy job, but if you look into the connectors you'll find it really difficult as there is no straight forwards connector to do the job. Issues encountered If you try using the " Get Folder Metadata " connector, you'll not be able to get the ID of the folder as it is returning as the negative value.

Step 1: Initialize variables In case you are computing...

Hi friends, Microsoft has changed the SharePoint drastically and now we do not need to write the custom solution for every need and take a toll on the performance.

Today I have worked upon the "Issue Tracking List" - list view row formatted. You can find the JSON file here Features Simple view Large view dedicated to the comments section, so once can read all the comments against the issue in a single view without even opening the item A lot of filters, clicking on the below columns filters the list upon that value. So one not need to create multiple views Happy Coding !! #Microsoft #SharePointWidgets

Hi Friends, In today's blog I will be explaining how to create a custom control for Property pane in SharePoint Framework, Many times we need a functionality which we cannot be fulfilled using the OOB (out-of-box) controls. For which we have to go with the customized solution. A very basic need that I encountered and will showcase in this blog is the display of colored text with some sort of icon in the Property Pane. For this we can use label but you cannot change the color of the text and there is no property to handle the icon class as well or you cannot add custom css based on the logic. So to demonstrate and understand how the custom control can be created and functions in Property pane of a SharePoint Framework solution. To implement this functionality I will be extending the properties of a Label and adding some more properties to achieve the functionality. Let's start with the structure and it's explanation then we'll move through the code inside ...
