Can't reference 'file' field in power automate to attach a file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Hi,

I created a custom entity with a field of 'file' type.  I attached the filed to the main form and have published the changes.  I want to create a power automate flow that will automatically attach a PDF/Word document to that field whenever the flow is triggered.

My problem is when I use the Update a row connector, my 'file' field is not listed.  Any ideas on how I can make this happen?  I've tried recreating the flow and the 'file' field still does not appear for me to update.

    Hi,

    You can not directly reference the column from Dynamic content.

    You need to follow below article to get the content from file type field.
