This is a bug. It's also not working for me.
No files returned from Get files (properties only) when folder contains parentheses

I have a Logic App created that is meant to collect data on files that have been uploaded to SharePoint. I have a "Get files (properties only)" which only returns folders. Then the process loops through all the folders, again calling the "Get files (properties only)" to get information on all of the files in those folders.
My issue is with folders that have a parentheses in the folder name. I know that there are files within these folders, but the "Get files (properties only)" returns nothing:
How do I get the properties of files within this folder?

It's quite confusing language.

2023-09-26T14:36:05.81+00:00 @Tollefson, Kevin Thanks for reaching out. Make sure that you have Include Nested Items property to Yes and not as No so the nested element is returned. By default, the value will be Yes (true). Can you also confirm if you have set any other property in your action? I will also suggest you to navigate to your folder that you have specify and validate if there are any files in the nested folder. I had the tested same at my end and didn't observe any issue.
You can see with the below configuration it returns the nested folder files i.e. New Text Document.txt as below.
Let me know if you need any assistance in validating.
