On or before 02 September 2024, I am able to use Status eq 'Draft' to filter the sharepoint list in the Get Items

however, without any changes, this filter is no longer working anymore and return nothing to me.

the Status is a choice column, is there a changes on the filter way?

my data is something like this

"@odata.etag": "\"147\"",
"ItemInternalId": "85",
"ID": 85,
"Title": "Try123",
"Payee": "Eyrhch",
"Status": {
"@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
"Id": 3,
"Value": "Draft"
},
"Status#Id": 3,
"Currency": {
"@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
"Id": 0,
"Value": "HKD"
},
"Currency#Id": 0,
"PR_x002d_Code": 1,
"Exemption": false,
"AccountNo_x002e_1": "111111-111",
"AccountNo_x002e_1Amount": 120,
"AccountNo_x002e_2Amount": 0,
"TotalAmount": 120,

What's the output of the expression here? Can you upload a screenshot of this action expanded in your last flow run?

my set up is quite simple, since the result come out nothing, so I am in the debugging progress and added the termination command.

It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. If you are using the new designer, toggle it off and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.

If you have more than 100 items in your SP list, you will need to toggle on pagination and set a threshold. The Get Items action returns 100 items per call by default, if you want more items returned per call you'll need to toggle on pagination and set a threshold. The threshold max is 5000.
