Microsoft flow, Copy file error 400 - "Member 'Level' was not found. CallStack...

[Christian_K]

Hey,

This is my first post so I hope you can excuse potential flaws in how I formulate my question.

I have an issue with microsoft flow not performing the flow that I have constructed in sharepoint. I have tried troubleshooting this for a while now but can't seem to figure out the issue.

What I'm trying to do is copy files from a folder to another folder:

( DokumentLibrary1/Subfolder/Subfolder2/(copy)file --> DokumentLibrary2/Subfolder/(place)file )

I have gotten as far as narrowing it down to the "Copy file" action not working(it has previousley been working).

The error message I am getting is as follows:

 "status": 400,
  "message": "Member 'Level' was not found. CallStack...

Anyone that can help me with any info?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Christian_K,

Could you share a full screenshots of your Flow configuration? It seems to be a problem with this action configuration.

I can't reproduce your mistakes here.

Could you provide all the error messages?

Please provide more details and we would provide a proper workaround for you.

Best Regards,

Barry

Hey,

Thanks for the reply.

Its kind of hard to show the whole process, but this is more or less the flow...

1. When HTTP Request is recieved

2. Get Metadata by Path

2. List Folder

3. Apply to each

4. If (filetyp != folder)

5. Copy file from path A to path B

The error message is pretty long:

Might not matter, but forgot to ref. you.

HiIt's been a while since anyone repleid; but I have been ahving the same issue that you had.

In the end it turns out to be something wierd to do with the Promoted State (used for turning pages into news pages) in the source files. At least that was teh case for us. Creating a copy of the soruce file solved our issue, even though we don;t really know why.

I hope it helps you

Hey all

Maybe you should try the action, create file instead of copy file.

In the past there have been some issues with the copy file action.

It is better to create a new one but with the file content of the file you want to "copy".

Kind regards

Tom

[simonjhudson]

interesting Tom. How would we create a new file or page with the content of an existing one?

Having the same issue here, and can't solve it. I had the copy file action working earlier.
Any new thoughts regarding this?

If I try to make a new aspx file I get access denied, so that doesn't seem to be a solution to the issue.

[Tom_Slosse]

Hey @simonjhudson

Sorry for the super late answer.

Well there is a action called Get File Content so you can get the content of the existing page and copy it to the new one.

Here is an example of it:

 

Kind regards

I've just had the same issue.

The page I was trying to copy had changes that were not yet published, once the site was re-published 'Copy File' then worked in Power Automate.

This was happening to me when I tried to copy the OOTB site homepage. For us, it shows as created by System Account. I think this is why it worked for others after they created a copy within the same site, because I think then it will show as created by the person who copied it, and have the required metadata for the flow to be successful.
