For the content-type you can set the following value, application/json;odata=nometadata
This simplifies the body and there is not need to add the metadata and type, just an object with the property you want to set.
Really good content. Cheers.

Hi, Thank you for this video. May I check how can I get the eTag from the Output of Send HTTP Request to Sharepoint action? Is there a way to parse the Output and get the eTag value after renaming the file ? Please help to share your thoughts. Thank you.

[@LernenTech]

generally there is action get file metadata in power automate but if you are looking from the output of http request then not sure at present but i will check if there is anything.

@@LernenTech hi I explored the get file metadata using path action. It worked. Thank you.

Get current date put it in format you want and then add at the time of rename using variables

Please guide how to resolve this.

Please check following
1. Use get files properties not file
2. Write all send http text manually not copy paste
3. Please use header first in browser to test if its working fine
Hope it will help, if still not able to resolve contact us on Instagram
