Hi,
I have created a flow which copies 4 fields to one sharepoint from another.
ID, Date, Author & Comment.
This works 80 % of the times. However, it seems that some of the "Comments" are empty after this flow runs. Comments are mandatory in Sharepoint 1 (Parent site) and there are no empty rows. I have checked that all the users have read/write access to sharepoint 2 (the receiving sharepoint site). Is there a better way of making sure all the comments are trensferred from Sharepoint 1 to Sharepoint 2?
Any help is much appreciated 🙂
Regards,

Hi @efialttes ,
I do not get any error Messages. A New item is to be created in Sharepointlist 2. This is intent.
Right now it creates a New item, but without the comment (just ID, Name and Date).
Hey @Anonymous
The flow execution wouldn't throw an error if an item didn't contain data... you still need to check the execution results to see if the items where the 'comment' field which generate a null value actually have a value... can you verify as @efialttes suggested?
Noting; just because the field is mandatory doesn't mean all items will have a value for the 'comments' field... for example the field could have been made mandatory after items had already been added, or another mechanism is adding data without setting the field... but the first check is to see the actual items contain a value in the Flow execution results, and then verify in SharePoint.
Thinking about it... on your source list check the 'Items that need attention' view.... which will show any items missing values for mandatory columns

Hi @Jay-Encodian ,
I've checked that the Comment Field has a value in the Source list (sharepoint1).
I checked "tems that need attention" and there is a list of approx 20 items. But how can I get information of what is the real issue With these? frustrating that some comments are transferred to Sharepoint2 and some don't...
Hey @Anonymous
Can you share screen shots of the execution history showing where there is a null value for the comments field, also showing a screenshot of the corresponding item in SharePoint?
Thanks J
Hi @Jay-Encodian ,
As you can see the flow was successfully run and the source Sharepoint has comment:
However, the other sharepoint list is not picking up this comment: It's empty
From the Run history I can see that the Body in the "Create Item" for comment is "Null":
"CommentDate": "2019-12-12T10:53:41Z",
"Comment": null
Any idea why?

Hi @efialttes ,
Here are the details. I noticed that the input from Andreas (the editor) is missing the "Comment" Field. The 3 other Fields from the second (receiving) sharepoint is showing (ID, Name and date).
I find it strange that the "Comment" field is missing here... the 3 other fields are showing (ID, Name and Date).

1.
2. The Comment Field was already there. This is not a Field that I added after the flow creation
