I have a flow that is supposed to trigger every time a specific column is changed.
My issue is that the "Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)" action is inconsistent with the data it pulls and it causes the flow to fire more often than it should. Sometimes it pulls a version range of 2 (the Current Version and the version directly prior) and sometimes it pulls 3 (the Current Version and 2 versions directly prior).
I had a file with the following version history:
Even though my specified column has not changed since 9/17/2023, my flow was triggered twice today (9/21/2023).
From what I can tell it is because the "Since Version Number" sometimes pulls too far back.
See Run History:
The run at 10:24:36 AM on 9/21/22023 ran as expected, but then the runs after that at 10:29:51 AM and 10:31:39 AM suddenly pulled older version numbers. I am at a complete loss.
Why is this happening? what can I do to change this?
Did you consider trigger conditions?

@SudeepGhatakNZ
Yes, the trigger condition is set to "Has Column Changed: Column Name" is equal to "true".
The problem is not the condition but the output from the "Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)" action.
If you look at my table in the original post you will see sometimes it pulls the past 2 file versions and sometimes the last three.
@trice602 - might you be able to help?
Still in need of some help. @FLMike, can you assist?
