Hi @trishmalloy 

What error are you getting after the run? What does the run history shows?

Thanks

@abm,

Thank you for responding!

There are no errors, the flow runs "successfully.

},
"Title": "School",
"FieldTypeKind": 2,
"MaxLength": 255,
"Hidden": true,

@abm Any thoughts on this?

[abm]

Hi @trishmalloy 

If you are not getting any errors that means the column is created successfully.

You can check this by

https://{YourSharepointSite.com}/_layouts/15/FldEdit.aspx?List={YourListId}&Field=School

Above replace the SharePoint Site and your List Id (GUID).

Also have a look at this link.
