SharePoint Online - Power Automate Flow HTTP Request REST API - System Update - validateUpdateListItem

Question

Hi MS Q&A,

Seeking advice and information if it is possible to update a List Item's Hyperlink Column field without triggering a version update via the following API and set the URL and Description values.

_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SampleList')/items(1)/validateUpdateListItem

If yes, seeking advice on what the sample Body syntax would be.

Example of current body syntax that only works to set the Hyperlink column field with both URL and Description properties set to same values.

Appreciate any advice provided, thank you.

Solutions:

Managed to test successfully the following syntax works to help set differing values for both the Description and URL properties for a Hyperlink column field:

{  
"FieldName": "ItemLink",  
"FieldValue": "http://www.samplelink.com, Sample Link Description"  
}
