Hello,
Using the response from an Approval step in Flow, I'm trying to update a field in a SharePoint list with the following expression:
if(equals(body('Start_and_wait_for_an_approval')?['response']),'Approve'),'Yes','No')
It is returning an error: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean. Can anyone explain to me why.
If the Start_and_wait_for_an_approval is a yes/no column type, you should change the parameter of the value to a Boolean using the bool function. Example:
Share
Report
All responses (
Answers (
@equals(triggerBody('Start_and_wait_for_an_approval')?['Approve'], bool('true'))For more information, please see the Bool function overview in the Workflow Definition Lanuage documentation.
