It's a simple query with an 'Other' addition.

@IsmailHalli Your condition action is set up incorrectly. You are checking to see if the dynamic content from the other response (first value field) matches (or is equal to) the text you've entered into the second value field.

Unless the user types in Sonstiges, your condition action will always return false. I show how to troubleshoot a Condition action in this YT Tutorial: 5 Power Automate Troubleshooting FAQs and Helpful Tips for Creating Better Flows

Refer to the first FAQ in the tutorial.

In this tutorial I cover:

✅ How to troubleshoot a false Condition action result

✅ How to get dynamic content when it isn’t selectable from the list of dynamic content

✅ How to troubleshoot an Apply to Each action that isn’t looping through

✅ How to troubleshoot a skipped Apply to Each action

✅ How to troubleshoot a Filter Query

✅ How to use a SharePoint yes/no column in a Filter Query

✅ How to use Compose actions to troubleshoot a Power Automate flow

✅ How to troubleshoot multiple emails being sent

✅ How to troubleshoot multiple Teams messages being sent

Hope this helps!
