Word Doc properties not updated in doc body

Hi,

 

sorry if i am repeating the topic, could not find one that would answer my issue.

 

I have a document template with 2 tables on the page:

  1. Table 1 contains info from the template like - Document ID, version, Template approver and Template approval date
  2. Table 3 contains info from the procedure - Document ID, version, Document approver and Document approval date.

Template is being approved through Power Automate flow. Data in table is updated through flow and all works as expected.

However, document after approval flow does not update Document properties in the Table 2, specifically document approver and document approval date. Document ID is updated and version also.

I have checked Info of the document, and fields are updated but it is not reflected in the table.

 

If i add it manually again, it does place the correct values, but then my this is seen as change and approval flow needs to be triggered again.

 

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks.

    Hi dutch, i have managed to sort it with XML mapping with metadata properties. Not sure if this would be permanent solution - time will show.

    I wish you received some replies.  Same issue.  And Copilot keeps telling me the same things (each time I ask) as to how to resolve this.  I have done those things.  Still..., no data is populating in the MS Word template.  Although, the MS PA flow indicates it has run successfully.....
