update status value in sharepoint list using power automate

Question

I have two fields named as Status and Approved. In my form when approver selects the option either approved or reject, the result will get save in the approved field. Now I want to change the status field also as per the result save in the approved field to Approved or Rejected.

I tried this by using update item action in power automate flow and it is not working. It is calling the same thing in a loop. It is also showing warning that this action will trigger an infinite loop.

Can anyone please suggest me any solution with this action in flow.

You can add trigger conditions to your flow so that it will only fire when a specific set of conditions are met.

This is a basic example that you can try and incorporate into your own flow.

My list has two specific fields, Field1 and Field2. As per your trigger, when an item is created or modified, I only want to trigger the flow when those two fields are not equal and if they're not, the flow will update Field2 with the value from Field1.

This removes the recursive nature of the flow as it will do the check prior to actually executing.

My expression for the trigger is shown below ...

... and that setting can be found in the settings of the trigger ...
