Hello,

I have a items list with three columns c1, c2, c3. I would like automatically execute the flow only if c3 change. if c1 or c2 are changed, do not nothing. How can i do that ?

Thanks

    The only way this works is if you know what the values are that the column will become.  Then you can put in a trigger condition so the flow only fires when one of those values is selected.  For example if column2 is a choice column and the choices are "Complete", "Pending", "Reassigned" and "Started" you could create a trigger condition that only fires when Column2 = "Complete" or "Reassigned".  If any other column changes, but Column2 does not the trigger will not fire.

     

    But as @ChristianAbata said there isn't a way to say only fire if a specific column changed.

    hi @Anonymous  unfortunally this is not supported yet.
