Business Process Flow - Not recognising default value as completing a field

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a Business Process Flow (BPF) that is set to assist staff with completing a form. For the most part it works fine, except when offered a Yes/No question where the default option is selected (i.e. the default is No and the answer is No).

This happens both prior to and after creating the record.
Setting the value to Yes and then back to No does not work (even before/after saving). Once the value is No/Default it will not progress the BPF.
The Yes/No field is set as a toggle in a Model Driven App

Screenshots display behaviour exhibited. Is this an issue with using a toggle, an issue with BPF when using a default option or something else?

Post create, default value showing field not completed.

Prior to create, non-default value showing field completed.

Whilst you may find help for your Model-Driven app question in this forum, I tend to find that better help for these MDA questions can be found in the DataVerse Forum, here

I am not sure if you have found a solution to this yet or not, but we are running into the same issue. I have found an older write up (linked below), that describes the issue as BPF not handling the No path of a Yes/No field properly. As explained in this article, the issue can also occur with a Choice field if the label is "No" and the value is 0.

The proposed workaround is to use a Choice with a label and value other than No and 0. You can add logic to set this choice behind the scenes if you want to tie it to your Yes/No field in order to keep your toggle control on the main form. You would then use the Choice field instead of the Yes/No field in your BPF logic.
