Update a status field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 364

Hello,

 

I want to update a status field when an item is modified but i keep getting false in the expression

 

Field name: EDC status

 

I have tried

  1. Status equals Complete
  2. Status value equals Complete
  3. Writing an expression in the status field and set to true but i don't understand the syntax fully and its saying its not valid

Can someone please advise?

Thank you

    Its should be straight forward but it just keeps saying False.

    I would like to go down the expression route but i can't get it right.

    Thank you

    Before ur condition add a compose data operation and pass the value on your left handside, run your flow and open history.. And u will check how the EDS status is returned.

    I tried the below expression with the intention to set to true but its not valid

     

    @equals(outputs('Update_item')?['body/Status/Value'],'Complete')

    @egornua1 you should be using Status Value from dynamic content.

    @Mira_Ghaly  when i run with Status value, i can now see that the condition result is true but i get an error related to the yes update action.
