Condition check on customString in DevOps

Posted on by kryalava Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I am creating a flow which needs to send email if ComplianceTag value is found in the Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09 field for a work item in DevOps.

I added a condition control, which check "Body" contains "ComplianceTag". This is not working. Can someone help how to add this condition.

..."Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString08":"testing","Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09":"ComplianceTag",...

Hi @kryalava,

Contains function and condition action are check whether a collection has a specific item. Return true when the item is found, or return false when not found. This function is case-sensitive.

Specifically, this function works on these collection types:

A string to find a substring

An array to find a value

A dictionary to find a key

"Body" is a subject, so contains not work, you should put a string into it, for example:

body('Get_work_item_details')?['Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09']

Hi @v-litu-msft

Thanks for your reply. I tried using this solution but did not work.

I created 3 new variables with 3 different values.

Name: CustomString09
Type: String
Value: body('Get_work_item_details')?['Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09']

Name: cs09
Type: String
Value: body('Get_work_item_details')

Name: cs08
Type: String
Value: body['Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09']

None of these have the value that I assigned in the customstring09 field of the work item. The value that I assigned in the customstring09 is simple string value tag1.

Can you pls help.
@v-bacao-msft Any suggestions will help me a lot.

I have used this format and it worked.

string(triggerOutputs()?['body/fields/Microsoft_VSTS_Common_CustomString09'])
