Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with a Condition in Power Automate when comparing a SharePoint Yes/No column.

SharePoint column type: Yes/No (Italian UI shows “Sì” / “No”)
In my flow, the condition is equals
When I run the flow, in the condition debug it evaluates to false, even when I believe the value should match.

My confusion is about the value to compare:

Should I compare using Italian labels (“Sì” / “No”) or English values (“Yes” / “No”), since Power Automate actions are in English but my tenant/SharePoint UI is Italian?

Example (simplified):

Condition: equals(<SharePoint Yes/No field>, 'Yes') → evaluates false

I also tried 'Sì' and 'True', but I’m not sure what is correct.

Questions:

What is the actual value returned by a SharePoint Yes/No field in Power Automate (Boolean true/false, 1/0, or text)?
What is the recommended way to write the condition so it works reliably regardless of language settings?
If needed, how can I convert the field to a Boolean and compare safely?

Any help or best practice would be appreciated. Thanks!
