We have one list, on that list two columns with name of "comments" and "Priority(None, Wait for action, Proceed)". So when requester submitted item and then owner will edit item and provide comments and select Priority as proceed.

We are passing this conditions :

1. If comment column is not null then it should trigger an email to requester and our flow need to wait until "Priority" column has any value (None, Wait for action, Proceed).

Kindly suggest, how to proceed the flow with steps.

    Hello,

    The idea is to wait until a Sharepoint List field ("Option") is not empty, correct?

    If yes, this post should be useful:

    I did a test and its working:

     

    1) Created a Sharepoint List with a Field called "Priority"

    2) The flow is pending until I change the field:

    3) After changing the field "Priority" to a value

    4) The flow continues...

    In the "Do until" , I used this expression:

    empty(body('Get_items')?['Priority']?['Value'])

    Note: depending on your requirements you may need to define a delay + timeout + count:
