Invalid Expression Notification in Condition

Posted on by 2
Hi all,
 
I'm trying to automate an approval process from a sharepoint list. I've tried a million different ways already to fix this issue (tried formulas, changing the dynamic content, checked my list for spelling/characters/space issues) and nothing is working.
 
I'v pasted the code below and attached a picture. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Is Status a SharePoint Choice column? If so, is there a 'Status Value' column that you can select instead of 'Status', when building your conditon?

    @timl I tried that as well. I switched from the new designer to the old one and was able to get it to work that way. Frustrating but it worked!

    Thanks for the update @ED-02122019-0 - I'm glad that switching back to the old designer fixed the problem.
