[RESOLVED] Flow running multiple times for when bulk items added to SharePoint list

[sudosaurus]

Hello,

I have a flow that does the following:

- Bulk items are added to a SharePoint list in Quick Edit mode.

- The Get items action grabs these new items from the list.
- The next item is "Apply to each" which references the value from "Get items from Customers list".
- The next action is "Get file content" which refers to a .docx template word document with Quick part references in it

- The next action is "Create file" which creates a new word document in the "Saved Documents" folder based on the template in "Get file content".
- Update file properties action then updates the properties of the newly created word document with the field data from the "Customer list".

The trigger point for the flow is using the Quick Edit action on the "Customers" SharePoint list and pasting in 6 rows of data from a spreadsheet. When each item updates it triggers a workflow.

However I have noticed that if one of these workflows runs, it still generates 6 documents based on each of the rows in the "Customer" list even though there are 6 running workflows.

Any idea what is going wrong here? Logically I would expect a workflow to run for each item added.

I've solved this by changing the trigger to: "When an item is created".

For some reason this stops the creation of multiple workflows and now only one is run.
