Hi @krfajar ,

Could you please share more details about the sharepoint list?

Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

Could you please explain more details about your requirement?

You should choose the Action Value dynamic content from in the first field of the Condition if you want to check the Choice from the Action field.

Best regards,

Alice

You have to look for the action '' outcome '' of the approval and instead of `` approve '' in the condition, you have to call this action. Look.

I hope it helps you.

Try placing the `` Get Item '' action so that when the flow passes through, it takes the updated value.

Get Item

SharePoint List
List Name
ID

what he will do is take the updated value. Try it by placing it before the condition. Good Luck !
