Update folder with flow

[JMAFO]

Hello,

I am trying to update a folder's metadata with flow. I successfully created the folder but can only update the column values of the items inside the folder. 

How can I update a folder's metadata with flow?

Wow, long day. 

Used Get Folder Metadata action and then used update file properties action to reference the folder and update the metadata. - signing off.

@JMAFO Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but thanks for coming back and updating your post. I've been beating my head on the desk trying to figure out why it's so hard to update a column on a folder. You solved my issue, so thank you!

@notj mission accomplished!

@JMAFO , I have the same requirement to update the folder properties column value from another list when a new folder is created, can you explain how did you get the value please?

By the I way I see the solution that you've presented, this is only for a single site use, meaning, if you would like to implement this in a variable or parameterized manner, such site URL and Target URL, I think you will also scratch your head guys. I've been trying to solve this issue from Yesterday. Till now no luck of finding the solution

If you have a collection, or an action before this returning multiple items, this solution would automatically be included in a loop.
