Establish Condition for Input with "For a Selected File"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 76

Hello- Is there a way to include or skip an input for a flow triggered by "For a Selected File"? I would like to have the flow request the user to enter a value ONLY if a specific condition is true.

 

In the below flow step, I want the input only to "asked" of the user only when the flow is initiated, if there in no value existing.  The below is a work around, but if the user doesn't read it carefully, they may enter a value and overwrite what already exists.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @JT-1964 

     

    I don't think you can make the flow to appear these input when the value is not present earlier. But a workaround would be keeping same inputs for selected file trigger- you can check whether the Publish (i think that is the value u are trying to check ) is already have value or not from trigger output - if yes- don't use the value input by user- else use the value input by user - I hope this can help ?

     

    Thanks & Regards,
