Hello Community,

I am in the process of building a flow for Start and Wait for approval,

The workflow runs with not problems except that the expression result is incorrect.

The workflow is Approved but when I look at the history the expression result is showing false which means the workflow has been Rejected.

The History log shows both as being Approved.

Results from the workflow

I have even tried to change the condition to contains instead of is equal to, and I still get the same result, workflow Approved but when runs it shows as Rejected.

Any idea's or help please.

Kind regards

Claire

Re: Approvals with incorrect expression result

Hello Team,

You are using the wrong Dynamic content in the Condition.

Can you please try OUTCOME instead of RESPONSES.

The OUTCOME dynamic content store the final decision of Approve or Reject and not the RESPONSES.

I can guarantee you that your flow condition will start working correctly.

Re: Approvals with incorrect expression result

Thank you @yashkamdar ,

I knew that, just forgot that in Start An Approval used to be Responses, then when Start and Wait for Approval replaced the pervious one the Dynamic should be Outcome.

Thanks again
Claire
