Hi 

 

Here, I want to conditionally have 'Comment from previous approver'. 

The comment is stored in sharepoint list, and I want to have that comment there, but if the comment column is empty, I want to put some text something like 'The previous approver didn't leave the comment'. 

 

Is there a way to achieve this?

    Hi @pinball2 

     

    Pls add an expression using if() function:

    if(empty(item()?['Commentfrompreviousapprover']),'Default commnet',item()?['Commentfrompreviousapprover'])

    in the above expression, I have taken the item from the loop so have used item()?['Commentfrompreviousapprover'], pls replace it with the actual field as per your need.
