Hi

 

For my flow i am trying to make a switch statement run only if the item is at a specific stage determined by a column.

 

I am trying to compare this column value with the string that i expect it to be equal.

 

I am getting an error saying cannot compare object with string but im not sure why the result of my status.value column is not evaluating to true

 

Overview of my flow:

Error message:

The output, why is the mocStatus Value an object?

 Is this more appropriate for the sub building flows?

    Hi @Zango,

     

    I have found that you posted a same thread in Microsoft Flow Community before, please check my response within following thread that you posted before:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Flow-choice-field-evaluating-false-when-compared-with-string-or/m-p/100029#M2699

     

    Please check if you have provided proper value within the Condition box of your flow. In addition, please clear cache of your browser and re-create your flow, then try it again to check if the issue is solved.

     

    Please let me know if you have solved your problem on your side, if the issue still exists or have any other questions about Microsoft Flow, please feel free to reply here. 

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
