Want to update the description field for a sharepoint file using Logic Apps in Azure

Question

Hi there,

Trying to update the "Description" field in Sharepoint using Azure logic apps. However, I'm getting the following error.

I've enabled "Description" as a property based on the information in the following link.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

@Jagan Seshadri (C) Thanks for reaching out. It looks like there might be a special character added to the column name Description.

This error message typically occurs when the field that you are trying to update does not exist in the SharePoint file. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify that the field "Description" exists in the SharePoint file. You can do this by going to the SharePoint site and checking the properties of the file.
2. If the field does not exist, you can create the field in SharePoint and then update the Logic App to use the new field.
3. If the field does exist, check the spelling and case of the field name in the Logic App. Make sure that it matches the field name in SharePoint exactly.
4. If the field exists and the spelling and case are correct, check the permissions of the user that is running the Logic App. Make sure that the user has the necessary permissions to update the field.
5. If the above steps do not work, you can try using the SharePoint Update Item action instead of the SharePoint Update File action. This action allows you to update specific fields in a SharePoint list item, rather than the entire file.
