I need help understanding how to create a complex condition. Below is my test flow. It's constantly evaluating to true right now - going into the Yes branch. I need help understanding the Conditional. Also, what does the checkbox do next to each condition?

In text, here is what I'm trying to do:

If varQualifier equals 'Non-Complience' (OR) varQualifier equals 'Non-Compliance (Veracode)'

(AND)

varAction equals '1 - Submitted' (OR) varAction equals '2 - Get Approvals'

(AND)

varApprovalStatus equals 'Not Started'

(AND)

varProductName is not equal to null

Here is my current flow:

Complex condition

Re: Condition (And / Or) Help

When you are setting your string variable to null, it actually ends up blanking out that string variable. So instead of testing for null (which actually makes total sense but...), you can do one of two things instead:

1. Just leave the condition blank

2. Test the length of the string and see if it is not equal to zero.
Where expression would be length(variables('varProdcutName')).

I don't know why but I tend to use the length expression myself.

Thank you ccc333ab for your help. It helped a lot. Everything thing seems to be passing or failing where expected now except for the last condition. varProductName is not equal to null. When I pass in null for the varProductName variable it still evaluates to true. Can you tell from my screenshot if I'm missing something?

Re: Condition (And / Or) Help

It appears you accidently created groups where they weren't required....but based upon your text explanation of your condition, I believe it should be:

And as regards to to the checkboxes, all they are there for is to allow you to "select" multiple items to enable you to group them, delete them, etc (after you select a few, you can click the ellipses (...) next to one of the fields and see the actions you can carry out).
