Status codew 400 when trying to copy a folder within SharePoint

[Mattw112IG]

I am trying to use the SharePoint - Copy Folder action.  But I am getting a status cod 400 that there was unexpected error.  But doesn't tell me too much.  This action seems pretty straight forward, so not sure what is causing the unexpected error.  I have tried it a couple ways.  I created a new folder and tried that.  No special characters in the name or anything.

Any other troubleshooting ideas?

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry,

Please can you share a screenshot of the error message received when the flow fails to run?

Could be that files are checked out in the folder you are copying or you don't have permissions in the new root folder to create it.

Thanks

Thanks for responding.

I ended up using the send http post... to create the root folder then all the other copy folder actions worked.  It just didn't like creating the root with that action for some reason?  Maybe because I was using the output of the previous action as the name for the root folder?  Don't know.

But everything is working as I needed it to now.

Thanks,

Terry

Ok... Nothing.  It looks like this is a busted adapter. Especially for a recursive structure.

My workaround was to store my "template" folder structure as a zip file, then use the Extract Folder method.
