This code is part of a workflow or automation (likely created in a low-code/no-code environment, such as Microsoft Power Automate) that interacts with a SharePoint Online service using the OpenAPI-based connector. Here's what it does:
-
Type of Operation:
- The
type
indicates that this is anOpenApiConnection
, meaning it uses a pre-defined API connection to interact with an external service, in this case, SharePoint Online.
- The
-
Inputs Definition:
- The
inputs
field provides details of the API call, including parameters and connection information. parameters
: The API call is structured to interact with a dataset and table located on a SharePoint site (https://surreypoliceservices.sharepoint.com/sites/HRES
). Specifically:dataset
: References the SharePoint site where the data is stored.table
: Identifies the specific table (a GUID) in the SharePoint list to be modified or interacted with.id
: References a specific item in the list, using a dynamic value from previous steps in a loop (@items('Apply_to_each')?['ID']
).item/Title
,item/OpenStatus/Value
,item/SectionText
, anditem/SectionUnit/Value
: These define values to be updated in the SharePoint item. Some fields are statically defined (e.g.,OpenStatus
is set to"Open"
), while others dynamically retrieve data fromApply_to_each
(previous steps).
- The
-
Host Information:
- The
host
field specifies the SharePoint Online API connection:apiId
: Points to the specific API identifier for SharePoint Online.connection
: Uses a shared connection namedshared_sharepointonline
.operationId
: Indicates the operation, which isPatchFileItem
, a method used to update an item in the SharePoint list.
- The
-
Metadata:
- The
metadata
field holds additional details about the operation for tracking (operationMetadataId
).
- The
Overall, this code updates a specific item in a SharePoint Online list or library. It dynamically retrieves the item's ID and associated metadata fields (like SectionText
and SectionUnit
) from a previous step in a workflow (e.g., the Apply_to_each
loop) and updates the corresponding fields in the item. It ensures the OpenStatus
is marked as "Open"
. This is part of an automated process to manage SharePoint list or library items.
