Flow trigger condition not working

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Frac 196
@And(equals(triggerBody()?['ApplicationWithdrawn'],false),not(equals(triggerBody()?['ManagerNomination'], triggerBody()?['NominationType'])))
 
 
This is my trigger condition that is supposed to only let my flow run if applicaton withdraw is false, and if Mnager nomination does not equal nomination type.   
 
Nomination type is a text field, and manager nomination is a multiselect field, i think this is the reason it is now working, but i am not sure what the correct syntax is in this situation.

    Since Manager Nomination is a multiselect field you can't really use equals.  Instead you should use the contains operator.  It should be something like this
     
    @And(equals(triggerBody()?['ApplicationWithdrawn'],false),not(Contains(triggerBody()?['ManagerNomination'], 'triggerBody()?['NominationType']')))

    The issue occurs because you are comparing a multi-select field (array) with a text field (string). Instead of using equals,
     
    you should use contains to check whether the text value exists within the multi-select array, and wrap it with not() for your condition.
     
    If the multi-select field is stored as an object array, you may need to use join() to convert it into a string before applying contains.
