Condition Issue with Simple Text

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jarodpearcy 71

Hello,

 

I have a SharePoint choice field in a list that triggers a flow when an item is created or modified.  I have setup a condition that checks the value of the field against choice against a text value.

The Flow triggers properly but the condition is never satisfied.  I check the results after the Flow runs and the text looks good on the output.

This should be simple.  Any ideas?

    I was able to find the solution to this issue.  A choices column needs to have the Values compared.

    Hi @jarodpearcy ,

     

    Thanks for updating. I am glad to hear that you have figured out the solution.

     

    When using Choice, Lookup columns, we need to select dynamic content “ColumnName Value” to get its exact value in the field.

     

    Please feel free reach to us whenever you have issues when working with Microsoft Flow.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
