Power Automate for Dataverse - updating a row trigger "Select Column"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by karenperry 26
Hello, 
 
Trying to make a flow that will only trigger when a change is made to a specific column in a table. I'm using the dataverse, when a row is modified trigger (see below). The column noted below is of "decimal" type. Currently, it is triggering when a change is made to any column in the table and so I don't believe the "select columns" filter is working.

    I believe it will trigger no matter what field was edited, but then you will have to put a condition in to decide whether to proceed or terminate.  
     
    Another way to do it might be to make some views that only show certain conditions, like when the ScheduleVarience is a certain value, and use that as the trigger.

    Thanks for getting back. I believed that entering the column in the "select column" field of the trigger action would almost act like a filter condition, only triggering when a change is made to the specific named field(s) ?
