Condition never met

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 114

I have a flow that runs when a new SharePoint list item is added. There is a condition checking if a certain value in the SharePoint list item = 4. If yes it should send an email. If no it should send a different email. 

 

Whatever the value, it always sends the 'if no' email.

The value is a choice field in SharePoint with values 1,2,3 or 4 but whatever I select the condition is never met. I've tried using single quotes, double quotes and no quotes around the '4' but makes no difference. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Try:

    Make sure you are using the value property for the choice field, for example:

    Thanks Ellis, 

    I tried putting the 4 in quotes but this made no difference. I also tried the value property and it made no difference.

    Then I tried using the expression string(4) instead of just 4 and this now works:

    It works with both the choice field itself or the value property of the choice field.
