Conditional statement unstable

Posted on by jaina 517

Hi,

 

I encountered a weird scenario on my testing of workflows.

 

I have a conditional statement below:

 

jaina_1-1620269092439.png

 

 

I have a column Requestor_Group which can be MOG, DMG MAINTENANCE, GCM, MRO, PPM, and so on.

 

Now, based on Requestor_Group is the layer of approval. Say, if the Requestor_Group value is either GCM, MOG or DMG MAINTENANCE, it will route with 4 layers of approval, otherwise 3 layers of approvals only.

 

Now, based on my work flow, if Requestor_Group value is either GCM, MOG or DMG MAINTENANCE, the condition is TRUE.

 

My problem is that, when I simulated my workflow with Requestor_Group value is either equal to MOG and DMG MAINTENANCE, it runs successfully based on my expectation BUT when I tried to run with GCM value, it does not met the expectation????

 

 

Can someone help me understand the reason please?????

    Can you check if there is an Extra space at the end of GSM ; that's what I can think of?

    Hi @Mira_Ghaly , no space, I tried to copy the output from the test run and paste it to conditions.

     

    I just noticed my test data, some can capture the value of requestor_group but some examples cannot capture condition value,

     

    Please see below test data condition output. 

     

    Requestor_Group = GCM

     

    Condition fails, no input detected but it runs to FALSE and up to the last part of actions.

    Requestor_Group = DMG Maintenance

     

    same Condition fails, no input detected but it runs to TRUE and up to the last part of actions.
