Text Conversion Find Text Function no longer working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TB-15112047-0
I created several flows using the Find Text function, and they worked for several months. Now they are not working... I have to go back to using the indexof() function...
 
Does anyone know why this function is no longer working?

    Are you refering to the "Find text position" action?  It should work.  Can you post a screenshot of it failing for you?  Ultimately both this action and "indexOf()" are the same exact operation and there are use cases were it's smarter to just use the "indexof()" expression where the value is needed.
