Filter array not working

Posted on by 2
Hi,
 
I am trying to find out why my filter array is not working (likely an easy fix). I have created the example below to outline what I am trying to do.
 
 
Where 'Get Items' has been set up like this
 
An the filter array like this
 
 
However, no matter what I do, the outputs are always blank (no outputs)
 
 
Can you help?

    Hi,
     
    By any chance, is your filed_5 a Choice type column? If yes, make sure to select the dynamic content of field_5 Value rather than field_5 when populating the filter query. If the dynamic content is not displayed for some reason, you can simply use the expression item()['field_5/value'].
     
    It happens because the choice fields are objects, and its label (what we see in the List) is allocated in the value property of this object.
     
     
    For example, this list:
     
    When filtered by Course Type Value:
     
     
     
    Returns these outputs (no Type 2 found, but a few Type 1):
     
    However, if I filter it by Course type only:
     
    I get no results:
     
     
    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

    Hi mate,
     
    Appreciate the response but still no Outputs. See it below.
     
    These are the inputs. You can see "field_5" there.
     
     
    And here is the source and criteria.
     
     
    Cheers

    Hi,
     
    I'm not sure if you used the exact same expression that I recommended in the previous message, but it contains a small error: the value is in lowercase, while the V should be in uppercase. This is the corrected expression: item()['field_5/Value'].
     
    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

    item()['field_5/Value']
    but not item()['field_5/value']
