SOLVED:Can’t get this very simple condition to true. I have dozens of flows and hundreds of conditions!

Posted on by mrdamgoode 75

It’s in SQL as an integer, but when I initialize the variable as an integer, it throws me an error, so i made it a string. I literally have the exact same conditions right above that with a different string and it works perfectly. I have been tweaking and poking for an hour now.

    Hello @mrdamgoode ,

    I’d try to convert it into integer in the Condition with the int(…) expression, maybe both sides of the condition, just to be sure.

    ugh….I initialized it as a string at very first, and the “set variable” step somehow didn’t change what it was looking for when i switched it to an integer. I deleted the original “set variable” and simply made a new (idential looking) one and it worked. That’s frustrating, but handy to remember.  Thanks for the help.
