Unable to copy files from latest folder in pipeline

Question

Hi Team,

The source folder has muiltiple sub folders and each sub folder has multiple zip files. I have built a pipeline that sorts the latest sub folder using variable method.

The pipeline path follows as below.

Step 1: Create variables (latest modified and previous modified) --> Get Metadata (of main folder) --> For each loop
Step 2: In For each loop --> Get Metadata (child items of Step1 Metadata) --> Set Variables that filter out the latest file by comparing with previous file
Step 3: Copy the latest folder

However, I am unable to read through the files in sub folder and copy.
Can you please help?

Thanks

As we understand the ask here is to copy the files from a sub-folder and i am asssuming that you are not getting nay error but then the files are not getting copied , please do let us know if its not accurate.

One thing which i want you to check if you have set the ItemType to File and not folder .
