Converting Yes/No text to Boolean

Hi,

I'm building a flow where I need to convert a Yes/No text field to a CDS Yes/No field

I'm using:

if(triggerBody()?['car'],"Yes",true,false)

i.e. if the input text value is Yes, I want to set the CRM field to yes (I assume this is a boolean true/false, maybe it's the wrong assumption), any other text input (i.e. No or blank), I want to set the CRM field to NO

but I'm getting an error message, can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

TIA 🤔

Re: Converting Yes/No text to Boolean

Hi @AngeloA

True and false should just work fine for a field of type two options. Can you share a screenshot of the flow and the error that you are seeing?

Hope this Helps!

Re: Converting Yes/No text to Boolean

thanks @yashag2255 for having a look at this, the flow is rather simple, receive an email and create a record

Then I get to my yes/no field and select Enter Custom Value

I enter my expression: if(triggerBody()?['car'],"Yes",true,false)

And I get the erro message:

TIA!

Re: Converting Yes/No text to Boolean

Hi @AngeloA

can you replace the expression as: if(equals(triggerBody()?['car'],'Yes'),true,false)

Hope this Helps!

Re: Converting Yes/No text to Boolean

Better yet you can just use the bool() instead of doing if((true),true,false)
i.e.
bool(equals(triggerBody()?['car'],'Yes'))
