Hi, I'm trying to be a flow where if one condition is met it updates a List item, but if a different condition is met, it updates a different List item. Is this possible please?

You can simply use the condition expression:

In the No branch you can add another condition control so you can check for the other condition.

Hi, sorry, me again. The issue I now have is that if the first condition is met it updates the item in the List but doesn’t check if any of the other conditions have been met so doesn’t update those List items. For example, condition one is that if value x = value y then update a List item, if no check the next condition. However, it might be that condition 4 has also been met, but because the condition 1 has already been met it stops the flow at that point. Is there a way to say, if condition 1 has been met, update the list item but also keep checking the other conditions to see if they have also been met? Thanks.

If I understand you correctly then you need to be adding a sequence of conditions as below:

yes it can happen within the yes branch after the update and it depends on your logic , you can add nothing to the No branch , if you explain what you need to do as requirements I believe I can explain better.

So if you need the next condition to happen only if first action condition evaluates to true so add the next condition inside the first Yes branch otherwise you can add it after the first condition if you need to check whether the first condition evaluates to yes or no
