Switch Case always skipping to default even when values match

Posted on by rgzdgtnshs

I have a flow for page approvals on a Sharepoint communications site. Depending on the Team that owns the page the approvals notification needs to go to the team lead for approval. The switch cases work on the Team column values, which is a mandatory column that uses preset Team names from our Term Store.

The problem is that it always skips the Cases, even when they match the expression result and runs the default. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I have copy and pasted from the Term store directly into "Equals" to prevent any differences in case sensitivity and spaces

Your screenshot shows innovation|{some guid} so the subsequent case its just look for innovation which is not what's showing up, so that's why it's not triggering as expected. unless I am miss understanding the problem?

Hi @srduval I'm fairly new to this. How do I stop it from returning the Team value plus |{some guid}? The actual column I've asked it to use just looks like the below in SharePoint

try doing it as an expression. split({dynamic content for team value here},'|')[0]

check out the new feature mentioned here for an easier way to write the above expression:

Run the flow, then after it finishes, take a look at the "report" of that flow and check the inputs/outputs of the interested connectors to see if there are any discrepancies
