Posted on by PramilaBhor39 14

Hi team,

 

1. I have created a flow when an item is created, In this I have used update item trigger as per the requirement.

2. An another flow when an item is modified for the same list. This create the multiple instance of flow.

It should be triggered only after specific condition is meet. Due to this the proper field data is not modify. 

 

Please guide,

Thanks in advance

    Please suggest.

    You can use trigger conditions in the "Modified Item" trigger flow with the help of flag column,

    If you don't have canvas form to update the flag value, there is another way to do it using multiple lines of text column as flag with the help of version history.
