Return a String instead of true/false

[xKazuya]

Hi Community.

Situation: 

- App built with powerapps

- Contains a few toggle buttons 

- Workflow triggers when new item (sharepoint list) is created, then sends an email

Everything works fine, however, I want to change the text from "true" to "yes" and from "false" to "no". How can I do this in flow?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @xKazuya,

Could you please show a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

Do you want to change the text value from "true" to "yes" and "false" to "no"?

or change the boolean value from true to "yes" string and false to "no" string?

I think the if function could achieve your needs, I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

• If you want to change the text value from "true" to "yes" and "false" to "no" (change from string to string).

  Add a "Variable" -> "Initialize variable" action, Name set to TextValue, Type set to String, Value set to empty. The TextValue variable represents the text you want to change.

         Add a "Compose" action, Input set to following formula:

if(equals(variables('TextValue'),'true'),'yes','no')

If the Text value that you want o change is "true", the above "Compose" action would return "yes", if the Text value that you want o change is "false", the above "Compose" action would return "no".

• If you want to change the boolean value from true to ''yes'' and false to ''no'' (change from Boolean to string).

  Add a "Variable" -> "Initialize variable" action, Name set to TextValue, Type set to Boolean, Value set to empty. The TextValue variable represents the text you want to change.

         Add a "Compose" action, Input set to following formula:

if(equals(variables('TextValue'),true),'yes','no')

If the Text value that you want o change is true (boolean value), the above "Compose" action would return "yes", if the Text value that you want o change is false (boolean value), the above "Compose" action would return "no".
