OData filter on Dataverse update trigger

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 217

I have an entity, Profit Centre with a many-to-one relationship to the Team entity. I want to trigger a flow each time the team field is changed on the Profit Centre unless the team field has been set to null.

 

What is the syntax for the OData expression I must put in the Filter Rows field of the trigger?

    Hi @halifaxious ,

     

    You can enter the column name for the team in the Select columns and if this field changes it will then trigger the flow.  It used to be called "Column filters" and now is "Select columns".  If you have multiple you can separate by commas.  Is this what you were looking for?


    Hope this helps.  Please accept if answers your question or Like if helps in any way.


    Thanks,


    Drew

    That's exactly what I did (see pic above). The problem is, if I edit the record and set my triggering field to <blank>, the flow still triggers. I'd like to prevent that.

    Hi @halifaxious ,

     

    Ahhh, understand.  Try <team field name> ne null in the filter rows.

     

    Thanks,

    Okay, that's what I thought it should be. But it's not behaving. But I just tried this:

    Note that in the Select columns field the fieldname is xxx_delegates but in the Filter rows field the fieldname is _xxx_delegates.

     

    Honestly! Why can't MS apply some consistency. How are we supposed to know which form of fieldname to use in which seemingly similar field?

    HI @halifaxious ,

     

    Please try just the filter rows and see if this works.  If not, let me know and I will try a test as well.


    Thanks,

    I did try it. That's what I meant by "it's not behaving".  Using the _fieldname works. Using the bare fieldname has no effect when field is not null and hangs when field is null.
