IBoolean SharePoint field output shows as "True" or "False" when you use post message in chat or channel but if you try to use this output in a Condition it fails because it is looking for either the word "true" or "false", the first letter not being uppercase.

Hi @QWales

Yes it depends at what you are looking at in the Ui and what UI, but it can be... annoying

however just to clarify, its not looking for the word true or false, its looking for the expression value true or false.

true and false are actual expressions, where True and False are just characters.

i know its annoying but thats that :-( im afraid

I'm just using a Power Automate Condition to check if my SharePoint list BooleanField is "True", I shouldn't have to type "true", especially because posting the field contents to Teams chat says it is "True", this should be addressed. Where is the suggestion box to improve this somewhat buggy software?
