Posted on by boyombo

I have a sharepoint list with a list with "Leave type" as one of the columns which is a choice field. I have another column as "Requested Day" i created a flow that needs approval redirected to another person if Leave type is Annual Leave and it is more than 10 days. i discovered it is running as "Inputs expression is False and goes to where false expression should go. I have tried several times and the problem keeps showing up. thus directing my flow to the email meant for false expression

Kindly assist

Hi @boyombo

In your condition ensure you are selecting "Leave Type Value" as dynamic content since Value will hold the text you are tyring to compare

Also, ensure Days Requested is a number field in SharePoint

@RezaDorrani Thanks. The "Leave Type" is dynmicaly chosen. the Days requested is a calculated column based on which is =[Start Date] - [End Date] could that be the issue?

Hi @boyombo ,

For the Choice field, you need to select the Dynamic content corresponding to the Choice value as the parameter to configure in the Condition.

Image reference:

It is also recommended to copy the corresponding Choice value in the trigger body to the parameters of the Condition. The case I encountered before was because the user accidentally added extra spaces to the Choice value, and the result here was always false.

For the calculated column you mentioned, as long as its type is Number, you can use it directly. You could configure Compose under the trigger to output Leave type value and the Calculated column value, and then check if it is consistent with the expected.

Best Regards,
