Connecting to SharePoint Library

Hello All,

 

I am have issues getting all defined columns from a Sharepoint Library and was wondering if anyone knows the reason behind this PBI behavior. I used the SharePoint Folder connector which defaults to SharePoint.Files which I changed to SharePoint.Contents and got to the library folder that I wanted. But I only see the below columns being and not the others I defined on SharePoint:

 

  1. Content 
  2. Name
  3. Extension
  4. Date Accessed
  5. Date Modified
  6. Dated Created
  7. Attributes (Contains Size, Content Type and Kind)
  8. Folder Path

 

I do not see any other way to retrieve the other columns defined along with their values. Any input would be great!

 

 

Thank You

Hi @nirvana_moksh,

 

Per my research, apart from above listed columns, it is not possible to retrieve other defined fields using SharePoint Folder. You may need to submit this idea here.
