Flow: Create & Update Planner task details. Insert Doc Link on Task. Works fine on Public SharePoint Site. Fails when file is in Private SharePoint site. ??

Hi Everyone. 

I am having an issue. I am creating a flow that users can trigger from a selected SharePoint file in a Document library. The flow creates a Planner Task and inserts details. The only details I am trying to add to the Task are: FileName & Link to File - in this case 'ItemUrl'.

The flow works perfectly when the files are stored on a Public SharePoint site, but if files are stored on a Private SharePoint site - the flow fails at 'Update task details' section.

Error Details: 

The request is invalid: Encountered a metadata reference property in a scope other than an entry. In OData, a property name with a '#' character indicates a reference into the metadata and is only supported for describing operations bound to an entry.

I don't understand why it works perfectly when the file is filed on the Public SharePoint site, but if pointed to one of our Private project sites I get this metadata error. 

The error, at first, made me think our Private sites had unfriendly characters in the URLs, but I checked and the Public sites have the same characters in their URLs. 

Has anyone else encountered this before? Can anyone help?

hi @Kelley303  this is because a public site don't need permissions to acces to Libraries or Lists, but a Private you need to add users to the specific group of permissions like visitors. So when  the flow try to access to a private Sharepoint if the user that are triggering the flow don't have the permissions thats you are receving an error.
