Hi Guys,

I am pulling my hair out! So I have the requirements below.

Approval Process when someone submits a reply on a form, a user puts a "Cost" in and depending on the amount it goes to certain users for approval.

- Below £500 Approval goes to user A

- Between £500 - £5000 goes to user B

- Above £5000 goes to user C

See attached the form that I am filling out, you can see that I am setting it to 499 which is less than 500.

When I run a test I get the attached error. I have tried troubleshooting this to get it to recognise it as an integer but it just seems to not want to play ball.

I'm sure this is something simple that I am missing, has anyone got any ideas?

Hi

Could you post your int() expression screenshot. Want to see that mapping.

Did you deleted and added the form field Cost? If it is then you need to map the Form Cost field again?

Thanks

It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing the outputs of your flow run.

It's hard to tell what you have in your Compose action. A number field in MS Forms will output a string even though you've selected it as a number field. You'll need to use the int() function to convert the string to a number.
