Update Item Action error in Power Automate

Question

I have a SharePoint online list with approval mechanism set through Power Automate.

Now While executing the "Update Item" action I am getting below error:

The query cannot be completed because the number of lookup columns it contains exceeds the lookup column threshold.

Within the update item action I am trying to update few fields and the list does not have any lookup column in it.

Please help me to resolve this.

Answer 1

The Lookup columns are:

1. Lookup
2. Managed metadata (single and multi-value)
3. People and group (single and multi-value)
4. Workflow status
5. Created by (people and group)
6. Modified by (people and group)

As a workaround, when using an action to collect data from a SharePoint list you can limit the gathered columns by selecting a view with the required columns (less than 12 lookup columns) in the action.
