I have a flow that runs infinitely, I set a trigger condition that compare a a change in a column of type choices named "CUMPLEREQUISITOS", this is my trigger condition : @not(equals(triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS'], triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS@odata.oldValue'])), but when the flow runs I have an infinite loop, in the condition structure when is "true" uodate an item and send a teams message, see the next pictures. How can solve it?

This is not a very reliable method as you have seen. If the value of triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS'] has never changed since the item was created, there is no old value. therefore, when your condition is checked it returns equals("Yes:, null). That means the two are not equal and your flow keeps triggering when you do the update.

My brain is hurting trying to figure out the logic, but try something like this:

@and(not(equals(triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS'], triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS@odata.oldValue'])), not(equals(triggerBody()?['CUMPLEREQUISITOS@odata.oldValue'], null)))

This way the condition checks if there is an old value. I am not positive this will work, but give it a try,

Hi. Thank's for your response!

I tried, but It can´t work, Didn´t execute the trigger.

Could you me tell me what do you considered the best way to create a flow that detects a change on a specific column, then compare values and take a determination if is true or false. If te result is true send a kind of notification (E-mail, Teams messaage) about the change, before I tried to send notification from microsoft list with the rules. But when I modify the field to "Read items that were created by the user" to show only items created by the user, the rules option dissapears.
