How to copy the the folder of the document to another using power automate

1)An application should have a lookup for its parent application on the application table (on the same table).

2)Add Ribbon Button On Application. The document is visible only if the parent application contains data (when a user clicks on the button titled /document history/ and on lookup selects any record which has already been created, then copies the document and attaches it to the current record(only copy the document of the filer Property + Technical record this two.).

3)Call Power Automate -- > add documents from the parent application on click

4)Show form Notification /Documents will be moved in the background. Please check after some time/.

5)Environment Variable to store Power Automate URL

(Note: I have a flow which is to create a folder so i want when user selects the lookup which is application is created the copy that document to current on click of button)

Hi,

You can add the following code to the custom button to call the flow.

function onload(primaryControl){
    var formContext = primaryControl;
    // get current record guid.
    var GUID = formContext.data.entity.getId();
    GUID = GUID.slice(1,-1);
    const req = new XMLHttpRequest();
        // This URL comes from the connector in the flow / when an HTTP request is received / generated URL.
        var url = "<your URL>";
        req.open("POST",url,true);
        req.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
        req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion","4.0");
        req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version","4.0");
        req.setRequestHeader("If-None-Match","null");
        req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/json ");
        //Sends the GUID of the current record to the flow.
        var body=`{"GUID":"${GUID}"}`;
        req.send(body);
    
}

The Power Automate Flow is shown below.

If the parent record does not exist, the flow is aborted.

Gets the parent record and creates a folder for the current record.

Expression: replace(triggerBody()?['GUID'], '-', '')

Get the filer Property and Technical Audit folders of the parent record.

Expression：toUpper(replace(outputs('Get_the_parent_application')?['body/crf6a_applicationid'], '-', ''))

Copies files from the parent record's filer Property and Technical Audit folders to the current record's folder.
