I am trying to attach files uploaded to a Form to a Jira Issue but I am getting a BadRequest error early in the flow.
In the activity: GET FILE CONTENT (ONEDRIVE FOR BUSINESS) the INPUTS appears to have the right URL but the OUTPUT has errors.
INPUT:
[{"name":"Task - Create_anonymous.png","link":"https://XXX.sharepoint.com/personal/XXX/Documents/Apps/Microsoft%20Forms/XXX%20Service%20Desk%20(2)/...","id":"01PVJRN2GDHTOVH623X5AJATRKKYPSHA3J","type":null,"size":68091,"referenceId":"01PVJRN2HRJESD53VNRJC2UKLVO2PEMZU7","driveId":"b!eoT3hbZ3lkuqSZap3wewuTey4SB5hgtFhUK-Ow0n_36D2nwVnrIXRKR_IuhRgjgY","status":1,"uploadSessionUrl":null}]
OUTPUT:
I then tried the Action: GET FILE CONTENT FROM PATH (ONEDRIVE FOR BUSINESS) but got this OUTPUT ERROR:
Hi @GKlose,
The upload question returns a string with different properties for each uploaded file. You can use a json function to convert it from a string to an array.
After that you can loop through this array and retrieve the details of each item/attachment with an Apply to Each.
One of those properties is the id of the file. You can use that value in your Get File content action.
Below is an example
1. Expression to convert string answer to array (change the id to your Forms upload attachments question id)
json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/re63869bd6ae04a5683cde0c7419c6578'])
2. Expression to retrieve File Id
item()['Id']
Hi @GKlose,
Yes, that would be slightly different. In that case I would retrieve the path first (ServerRelativeUrl) of each upload (via a HTTP request) and use a Get File Content Using Path action instead of your Get File Metadata).
Below are the steps of my proposed approach (also shared it earlier in this thread) and I also blogged about this recently with detailed steps:
https://www.expiscornovus.com/2024/02/13/retrieve-files-from-upload-file-question/
Below is a short snippet of that same example
1. Add a Send an HTTP request within the attachment question apply to each loop
a. Use as Site Address (this expression is used to retrieve the site address portion of the link)
join(take(split(item()['link'], '/'), 5), '/')
b. Use as URI (this expression is used to retrieve the file id portion of the link, a guid of 36 characters)
_api/web/GetFileById('@{substring(item()['link'], add(indexOf(item()['link'], 'sourcedoc=%7B'), 13), 36)}')?$select=ServerRelativeUrl
c. Use as Headers
{
"Accept": "application/json;odata=nometadata",
"Content-Type": "application/json;odata=nometadata"
}
2. Use a Get File Content using Path instead of a Get File Content
a. Use as Site Address
join(take(split(item()['link'], '/'), 5), '/')
b. Use as File Path (this expression is used to retrieve the file path portion of the ServerRelativeUrl field)
concat('/',join(skip(split(outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')?['body']['ServerRelativeUrl'], '/'), 3), '/'))
Hi @Expiscornovus . Thank you so much. I checked out your blog post also. However I am getting stuck on the first step.
- For the 1st action "Get response details" I am forced to envelope it in an "Apply to each" which looks different from your flow which has the "Apply to each" after the "Get response details".
- The "Send an HTTP request to Sharepoint" is set-up as per youur instructions (see pic) but returns a Test error:
Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'substring(item()['link'], add(indexOf(item()['link'], 'sourcedoc=%7B'), 13), 36)' cannot be evaluated because property 'link' doesn't exist, available properties are 'webhookId, eventType, resourceData, eventTime'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'. - I have set-up the "Get file content using path" as instructed but the Test has not yet reached that action (due to "2" above).
- Assuming "2" can be fixed and "3" works what else will be needed to extract the content(?) of the 1 or more attachments from the Form Upload (in Sharepoint as it is a Group Form) before it is somehow attached to the Jira Issue which is created from the same Form Response further down the flow?
Hi @Expiscornovus . I just noticed some strikethrough text which appears to be full "Upload" Get Form Response data for when 2 files are uploaded.
This was discovered as the currently flow has a Create Jira Issue and simply displays the "Upload" dynamic content in the Issue description (my workaround for now).
Could this be a cause of the error in "2" in the previous post?
Hi @GKlose,
Because you are already using an apply to each you would need to add another apply to each for your upload question. In your setup it should look like the below.
Hi @Expiscornovus . Thanks for the inout. I did try enveloping your bits into an additional "Apply to each 2" but I wasn't even able to Save the changes as I got this error:
The template validation failed: 'The template action 'Apply_to_each_2' at line '1' and column '11028' is not valid: "The template function 'body' is not expected at this location.".'.
The json function is for the "Upload" question in the Form responses (see pics below). Is that right?
Hi @Expiscornovus . Thank you for your patience. I have tried both of those expressions and both enable me to save but now I am getting the same error 400 with both versions.
Have I got the HTTP Expressions correct (see highlighted in blue below) or am I supposed to add some dynamic content in there?
The Join expression:
The Substring expression:
Test HTTP action INPUT:
Test HTTP action OUTPUT:
Hi @GKlose,
The value within the GetFileById method looks strange. Just had another look at your uploaded files.
The solution I shared earlier was tested with Office files. With those you would get Office Online embedded links in the question response. I would have to reuse the link and reuse the GUID in a HTTP request to find the direct link of each file.
However, in your case images/png files are used and the link property already has the correct direct link. Which makes the setup a bit easier and you don't have to use the Send an HTTP request anymore.
Try the below instead
Site Address
join(take(split(item()['link'], '/'), 5), '/')
File Path
join(skip(split(item()['link'], '/'), 5), '/')
