Why in Conditions - I always get Expression result - False

[YYA5154]

Could any one help?

I start a flow with Form, and in the step of Condition, the condition is 

--> one answer to the question in Form should be equal to 15.

But I always get following message.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @YYA5154 ,

Could you post more screenshots of your flow. Is this free form text or option set ?

Thanks

Hi!

I would try with the following expression on the right side of your Condition:

string('15')

If you are not familiar with expressions, follow these steps:

Hope this helps

Thank you @ManishJain .

The story is:

I created a Quiz - about safety guidance.

There is a Form, people need to fill in in they want to go to work.

But the condition is: they have to complete the Quiz with 100% correct answer first.

In the Form, I have added a question : what is your Quiz score.

And here the condition is: if the answer to the question is equal to 15, then a approval request will be sent to the manager.

If the Quiz score filled in in the form is lower than 15, then the member will be requested to re-do the quiz.

I fill in the condition with Dynamic content, and the number 15, I just typed.

Hi @YYA5154 ,

As this is text box value it is string and as @efialttes suggested you can typecast that value using int(string value) . so you should be using int(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r47eb829d9e5342c388da4fc99a324a00']) equals 15 

highlighted part should be changed as per your flow parameters.

Thanks

Thanks @efialttes  for your advice.

I used "15" on the right side, then I got Expression result "True".

Thanks @ManishJain .

However, as I do not know computer language, would it be possible for you to explain me - what exactly I should do?

 outputs('Get_response_details')outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r47eb829d9e5342c388da4fc99a324a00']

Sorry for the inconvenience 😥

Hi @YYA5154 ,

From the screenshot that you shared lastly can you please add Compose action and in input add your question in it. Then click on the three dots at the right corner of action and select peek code. This is where you will see something like this 

@{outputs('Get_response_details')outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r47eb829d9e5342c388da4fc99a324a00']}

select it and use it for condition like this : 

int(outputs('Get_response_details')outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r47eb829d9e5342c388da4fc99a324a00']) equals 15 . 

There is no quotation in 15 here. 

Thanks

Hi @ManishJain @efialttes ,

As explained in the previous communication.

The story is:

First there is a Quiz - about safety guidance.

Then there is a Form, a approval request to come to work in office.

The idea is: once the requester filled in the Form to request approval, the system will first check, whether the requester has achieved 15 points (100% correct) in the quiz. -->If Yes, an approval request will be sent to their GM for approval. In No, an e-mail will be sent to the Requester to re-do the Quiz.

Do you have a better way to combine the Quiz and the Request form?

Thank you very much in advance.

HI @YYA5154 ,

If the answer to condition is yes then send approval mail to manager (considering you have retrieved in earlier steps as you have retrieved user) other wise send email to user with link of form. You can use Responder's email from form response in order to get user's email.

Thanks

Hi @ManishJain ,

Suppose I do not know people's Quiz result.

My difficult is, once a approval request is filled in Forms, how could the system go to look for another Quiz result, and based on the Quiz result to take actions.

As now I am asking people to indicate their Quiz score in the request form, -- and if possible I want to avoid this question.
