File & Folders List - Limit Items

When using a Files & Folders list, you can set a number of filters to filter out file types, read only, etc...

I would like a filter that sets a max number of items to return - similar to how the Get Email action works.

Use Case - when using the Files & Folders list as a queue, you really only need to grab the top 1 file. For folders with large amounts of files, it can take several minutes to generate a list. In the case of queue building & queue working - I want to limit to only the top x files.

    To clarify:

    • The 'Create List' for Files & Folders type will give you all items in a file/folder

    • In some case - for example when working files as a queue - I only want to grab the top 1, or the top 10.

    • If the folder has 10,000 items in it, it takes several minutes to build the list.
