Action Button in Lists: Set Column Value

Posted on June 16, 2022 by WonderLaura 4 comments

SharePoint Lists / Microsoft Lists have a capability that allows you to add a button to a row, which when clicked will set the value of one or more columns in that row. For example, a “Complete Task” button, when clicked, could set the a status column in a row to “Completed” and set a person field called “Completed by” to the current user’s name.

I’ll also show you a way to kick off a flow, without the flow panel popping out and without the user having to click to run the flow in multiple dialog boxes.
