Hi everyone,

I need some help with an issue I'm facing.

I created a Power Automate flow that returns a value to Power Apps. In the flow, I use the "Respond to Power Apps or Flow" action to return a Boolean value (True or False). While it works perfectly in Power Automate, when I set this value to a variable in Power Apps, it always evaluates to False, regardless of the actual output from the flow.

Here's the setup:
Power Automate:

Power Apps Variable Formula:

Set(validationresult, Validatecontainers.Run(drp_prefix.Selected.Prefix,text_containerNo.Value).validationresult);

Does anyone have suggestions on what might be going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

@Parag Chapre

Just adding to @SpongYe's post - the response is a String "true" not the Boolean true , so to get a Boolean, you would do something like this
Set( validationresult, Validatecontainers.Run( drp_prefix.Selected.Prefix, text_containerNo.Value ).validationresult = "true" );

Hi @Parag Chapre

Whenever you make an adjustment to your flow outside the application, you will need to refresh the flow within the app.

I tried a similar approach, and it worked for me:

This is the variable validationresult:

Consider checking the result of the Execute Action to ensure it returns a true value.
