Posted on by Scherodan

Hi Community, 

 

I totally lost what I´m doing wrong. I have simple start to set up a flow that use the trigger "Item is created or modified". I use also somw trigger condition to reduce the volume of runs. Unfortunately the flow show strange behaivor. If I change one item the flow runs not only for this item - the flow runs for all items that match one of the criteria.

 

My trigger condition - 

@Or(or(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Stellen_x002d_Status/Value'],'Bereit für Bearbeitung'),equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/VOIS_x002d_Status/Value'],'bitte stornieren')),equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/VOIS_x002d_Status/Value'],'bitte ändern'))

    @ManishSolanki , yes you’re right. The issues turns on when I add an update item step. 
    But why this happened? Do you have a hint how I could prevent the flow to do so and I could only update the particular item which is modified? 
    thx in advance

    Hi @Scherodan 

     

    Are you also updating the items in the flow? If that is true, then the flow will be executed for all those items if trigger condition matches for those items. If you want to apply trigger condition during item creation, then check if "When an item is created" trigger suits your requirements.
