Hello All,
I have a custom list with about a dozen different content types on this list.
When an item is created/edited I have a Flow trigger.
My issue is that I cant seem to access any of the data within the item itself beyond the fields that are shared between all of the content types.
Meaning if I have a field called "Appraisal Value" on 4 of the content types I cannot access the data within a Flow.
Am I going to need to use a SharePoint Designer Workflow?
Thank you for any assistance. 😃

Solved! Go to Solution.
What trigger are you using and are you limiting the columns returned using a view? I just tried a test on a list with two Content Types. I have access to all the columns when using a Get Item action.

@Pstork1 Yup, that was it, it was the view, I cant believe it was somethign so small. lol
I am now running into another issue, the reason I had the view changed was due to there being too many look up columns and the error that goes along with that.
Is there a way to bypass this in some way or possibly break it up in some way?
Probably the best thing to do would be to set the trigger to pull a base set of columns that you will need and then after finding out which content type it is you can use a switch to do a get item to retrieve the specific columns you need by creating a view for each content type.
@Pstork1 True, but then i get to deal with the fun part of anytime I use those getItems it makes me do a for each even though there is no way to get more than one item using ID, ugh lol
Thanks for the assistance. =D
Since the Trigger provides the ID of the Item you can use the Get Item action instead of the Get Items. That way you only get the one item to use the fields for.
@Pstork1 Yup, been one of those days lol
Thanks again, I ended up making a view for each content type as well as a couple that required 2 due to the number of look ups and all is functioning properly.
I appreciate the assistance. =D
