Condition keeps coming up False

Posted on by d00454642

I'm trying to make a flow creating a new task in Planner based on the Condition an existing task has a certain label. I've currently set it up as:

When a task is completed --> Get plan details --> Get a task --> Compose --> Condition: appliedCategories is equal to Category descriptions Category 1 --> If yes: Create a task; If no: blank

The trigger task has the label: Pink

I've also tried Condition: appliedCategories is equal to Pink, and different labels/category numbers/colors. When I run it, the Compose has INPUTS: "category1": true ; OUTPUTS: "category1": true. All variations keep coming up with the flow running successfully, but registering the Condition expression result as false.

Can anyone explain what needs to be fixed?

Thanks,

Cai

Hello @d00454642 ,

it's hard to analyse without any screenshots, but do you use the 'true' value as an expression? That's what I'd try in the condition, not just type in 'true' but enter 'true' as an expression.

Re: Condition keeps coming up False

Here's a screenshot of everything below the When a Task is Completed trigger:

The only "true" value is what the Compose tells me after I test the flow. My understanding is the Compose registers the appliedCategories as existing in the task, but the Condition is still somehow not met.

Hi @d00454642 ,

I agree with what @tom_riha said, sometimes we could use true as an expression in a Condition Action instead of true for text values.

In addition, maybe you could try to use another Dynamic content in this case.

Charlie,
Thanks. The simple change of Color is equal to true seems to have fixed it. (It's so easy to over-complicate these things).

Best,
Cai
