The flow is canceling at the condition. However, just an hour ago there was not issue. 

Ex. 1 the build-out

Ex. 2 This is the first attempt with success

    Solution. All I did was as "Compose" above the condition. 

    The selected input was the same as what I used in the Condition.

    Upon testing it all flowed without a loop and as I built it. Thank you for your help @abm

    Re: Flow Condition not working properly

    So I removed Terminate and the flow successfully ran, but the expectation was not met. What triggers the flow is when an item is modified. My action is based on the fields "CR Analyst Dispo" or "Builder Dispo". However, in the condition when I select "is equal to" and the fields are set to that, the flow does not run correctly. The condition tells me input is false. See screenshots below for examples. 

     

    List (Please note that the action/condition is impacted only by the two fields "CR Analyst Dispo" or "Builder Dispo" - NOt an Issue)

    Ex. 1 (condition is set to "equal to")

    Here is the Test Run - Please notice how the condition input was "False" which is not the case, the fields match the expected condition and the condition input should have been true based on the fields and the set condition.

    Hi @MoniqueLMillan 

     

    This is by design. Yes I agree this is a bit misleading but here is the explanation.

     

    The conditions set in the condition are not met when Flow executes the action in the IF NO branch. The value of Status set in the "Terminate action" is Cancelled, so Run history shows that the Condition is Cancelled.
