Trigger Conditions using a Multi- choice field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi. I am trying to add a simple trigger condition to a flow that would only let it run if the answer to a multi-choice field is "Stressful Event". I'm sure the issue is that it is a multi-choice field as I can get it to work just fine on any single-select fields, but I can't find information on how to setup the condition so it will run.  Ideally, it would run if "Stressful Event" is one of the answers selected, but I would settle for it running when it is a solo choice only at this point.

 

Here is how I have it setup right now:

I have tried using array filter to come up with the expression for me, but since it's a multi-choice field, it puts it into an Apply to Each loop.  I've tried a variety of iterations based on what I've found online - hoping someone has some insight.

 

Thank you!

    Hi @ahartsfield ,

     

    Please try:

    @contains(join(triggerOutput()?['body/incidentType'],';'),'Stressful Event')

    Thank you! When I try that, I get this error message:

     

    InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions for trigger 'When_an_item_is_created_or_modified' at line '1' and column '56854': 'The template function 'triggerOutput' is not defined or not valid.'.
