Flow fails when using @empty on date field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ctyst 32

It has worked fine for other field types. Is there a different function I should be using for date fields?

    Hi @ctyst,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow’s configuration?

    Do you want to check if the date file is empty?

    Further, could you please show a bit more about the error message?

     

    I have made a test on my side and don’t have the issue that you mentioned. My flow’s configuration as below:19.JPG

    Within Condition box, click “Edit in advanced mode”, type the following formula:

    @empty(triggerBody()?['DueDate']) 

    Note: The DueDate column is a Date and Time type column in my SharePoint list.

     

    The flow works successfully as below:20.JPG

     

    Please check if there is something wrong with the formula that using @empty on your date field.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    It may be that the flow is having trouble. This morning the @empty check worked, but now I am getting failed checks. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have that issue, but I couldn't find any threads on how to correct that issue. Could you point me to more information?

    It seems to be an issue with a field selected on a site column. I selected a different field and it works. Good to know. failure due to site column data.PNG
