Error message when using 'Condition' operator - Send an email to responder when response submitted in Microsoft Forms

Hello everyone!

 

Hope you are all well. I created this flow a few months ago for my current company and I didn't use it because I was assigned to other areas after I created it (but it was working because I tested it). This week I try to turn it on again and edit some stuff on the flow (only change part of the body on one of the emails) and then it gave this error message: "The input parameter(s) of operation 'Condition' contains invalid expression(s). Fix invalid expression(s) for the input parameter(s) of operation 'Condition'".

 

It's a basic flow so I don't know if there was an update regarding the Condition operator but I'm not able to go beyond that point. The flow gets the answers for a Microsoft form I created and then send an email depending on the answer of one the questions. I know its case sensitive, and I checked in the form and its ok, so no idea what the issue could be. 

 

I'm attaching you some screenshots regarding the flow and the form (as for now that's the only error message I'm getting). Just FYI the compose and get file content it's just to attach the signature image to the emails. 

 

I really appreciate any suggestions or solutions you might have!!

    No it does not give me any value option. The thing is it used to work few months ago, I didn't change anything on the flow.

    Do you mean this lists on the flow?

    In the list of form fields available for you to select to add to the flow, can you scroll down a bit further and check if there is another field with the same name but ends with value?

    Mmm I tried that but didn't work. Also tried changing the question type but didn't work either. I double checked the flow and I don't see any other issues.

    I think you can compare the answer to true instead of Yes

    Thank you for the response!! @DJ_Jamba . So from what I understand, the question I have in the form that I'm applying the condition in the flow doesn't output a 'text' value right? Should I change it to regular text question then?

    Your condition: 
       FieldValue is equal to Yes

     

    ...is expecting FieldValue to be compared to text (Yes)

    You can only receive that error if FieldValue is not text e.g.
    FieldValue might not be text and could be:
    Number
    Date
    Boolean
