If statement not recognising selected choice from drop down (using SharePoint List choice connector)

[TM12]

 Good morning all,

I have spent way too many hours trying to get this to work and simply can not solve.

*Screenshot of code posted above"

I have set up an approval flow where the selected manager will be sent the form and I am trying to assign the email address the flow is connected to by selection of the name of the manager. However, I keep getting an error "ApprovertoEmail invalid value for parameter". I have tested the Variable side of the statement which works fine form Set(... onwards when removing from the IF statement.

Please note - I have changed to email name to A.Test for anonymity but can confirm the application had the correct name(s) in the relevant fields.

Therefore it must be an issue with the first part of the IF statement not recognising the name "A.Test" for some reason? 

If anyone can help that would be great, thanks in advance.

Try without the parenthesis in the workflow run parameter.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried with and without the parenthesis still the same result unfortunately:

ApproverToEmail parameter is the first or the second in your flow and it is variable SMEMAIL?

If yes, i think the problem is in your If() statement.
SMEMAIL must be always populated with any string.
What if datacardvalue10 selected value  is not equals to A.test? what is the value of SMEMAIL in that case?

you may test that:

If(DataCardValue10.Selected.Value = "A.test",

Set(SMEMAIL, "A.test@testmail.co.uk"),

Set(SMEMAIL, "B.test@testmail.co.uk")

);

Hi, thank you for the suggestion.

I have tried the suggested to ensure no matter what is selected the parameter contains a string but for whatever reason it still does not like the IF statement... I will have to look into other options around what I thought would be a quite simple task to assign an email address based on a drop down selection from the user! 😅
