Microsoft Graph – SharePoint VBO: Query String Missing from URI in List Retrieval

robert.rudd — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 12:01:28 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I'm encountering an issue when using the Microsoft Graph – SharePoint VBO from the Digital Exchange (DX) to retrieve items from a SharePoint list.

🔍 Issue Summary

When executing the Get items in a list action, the query string appears to be stripped from the URI. Specifically, this endpoint is expected:

/sites/[Site ID]/lists/[List ID]/items?expand=fields

However, based on Fiddler logs, the request sent from Blue Prism does not include the query string (?expand=fields).

From what I can see:

- The code stage looks correct.
- This leads me to suspect that the issue may lie in how the URI is being compiled or possibly in how the DLL parses the request.

❓ Has anyone experienced this before?

Is this a known issue, or is there a workaround for preserving query strings in this scenario?

Resolved

Having given some time to this issue today, I have been able to identify the problem. Due to the name of the Microsoft SharePoint VBO and an old install of the Microsoft SharePoint API being exactly the same the selection when selecting the action from the dropdown was forcing the selection onto the API.

Hi @robert.rudd

Yes, there are two objects with the same name but different object IDs. The older Web API variation of the SharePoint connector should be removed/archived from your system. It is no longer supported.

Cheers,
Eric
