Update document library folder when sharepoint list attachment is modified/updated

[Tiang8383]

hi, i have a sharepoint list.
The list contains separate rows of issues. 
Each issue requires attachment upload from the respective person. 
There is a separate document library mapped for each issue. 

How to create a flow such that: 
When a person uploads their attachment (modifies the attachment column), 
Power automate is triggered and updates the corresponding document library folder for the sharepoint list item (modified).

hi @Tiang8383 

To achieve this, you can use a SharePoint trigger "When an item is created or modified" trigger for SharePoint, in Power Automate to detect when an attachment is modified in the list. Then,
you can use the "Create file" action to update the corresponding document library folder with the uploaded attachment.
Ensure proper mapping between the list item and the document library folder.

Thanks,

Hi Sandeep-jii.

This is my setup flow. However it is only able to create folder, and move first time attachment in sharepoint list. 
Any modification, addition, removal from the sharepoint row attachments, will not be reflected. Could you advise how i can revise it more accurately?

Instead of using the generic "When an item is created or modified" trigger, use the "When an item is created" and "When an item is modified" triggers separately.

Within each trigger, add conditions to check if the attachment column has been modified. You can use the "Get changes for an item or a file" action to compare the previous and current values of the attachment column.

hi sanjeep. it worked perfect!. however, i am not able to point the changes column to "attachment". Instead i need to refer to another column to detect changes. can this be corrected, please?
