On the page in screenshot, I can show how many files there are in message box, but How can I get name of files, and also how can I reach column names, and update their value?

 

for example how can i change the files’s status to “Updated“ from “New”

the folder path is PowerAutomateFiles\AUT0001829

@Padmakumar  Hi,

How can I use sharepoint package here?
I use;
Sharepoint:Authenticate
Sharepoint:Get file(s)
Foop for each item in list

    MessageBox (ListItem)
Here it gives error as 
“content expecting String “received LinkedHashMap”



Get file(s) returns a list where each item is a Dictionary containing properties (e.g., file name, URL, last modified time, unique ID). You must Get by key into string variables before sending to Message Box. The official doc notes the output is a List of type Dictionary and suggests looping the list to read filename, URL, last modified time, and unique ID.

But Listname is a variable which is created in automation anywhere. So we can not give folder name like SharedDocuments etc, its folder name.
Here list name is used as a list variable https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/aae-client/bot-creator/using-the-workbench/sharepoint-get-listitem.html
