Sharepoint - How can I mark a file as processed?

Help Activities

Hi all,

The Office365 activities do not expose a way to update metadata of files on Sharepoint. Is there a workaround?

I have a custom Sharepoint column, RPA Processed Date, where I would like to insert a date/time stamp representing when RPA processed the file. The only solution I can find is to remove the file and re-upload it, which does allow me to specify metadata. However, Sharepoint counts it as a new file with a new revision history.

What’s the best approach for this? I essentially want to be able to flag “Skip this file, we’ve already processed it” and give end users a way to confirm the file has been processed, too.

Thanks!

Did you try with conflict behaviour failed?

May be it might update only the meta data not sure

Or not through uipath but you can create a power automate to update the meta data and trigger or call the power automate from uipath when needed

cheers
