Approval flow keeps being rejected when is approved

[312_312]

I have literally done all I can, I have watched few youtube videos and read all the forum discussion. I redo and redo and reado. Its still the same thing. Just tell me what should I do now? Should I report this to the Microsoft about a bug or I'm really doing it wrongly. Please help me

Hi @312_312 ,

Very very strange since the flow would works on us all the time as my screenshot below...

Are you sure there is no any space in the second field in the Condition as my screenshot?

Please take a try to create a new flow from scratch and let me know if your issue still exists.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that there is no spacing in between, double-check and confirmed. I have already created new flow from scratch for like 5 times, I had enough since it is time-consuming and long workflow ( only two times condition ). The same problem still persisting and it has becoming a burden on developing the flow.

Hi @312_312 ,

Please take a try with flow below:

if(equals(body('Start_and_wait_for_an_approval')?['outcome'],'Approve'),'A','B')

The output of Compose should be A when the request is approved.

It was going well with approved, then later I try reject. The problem persists again. When i reject , it moves to 'if yes'

Amazing!

Could you please share the full screenshot of the configuration of your flow with all of the details?

Sorry for the late reply, do you have another alternative?

When Approved, goes according to the compose that you recommendThen when it is rejected, it triggers approveFirst configure after runsecond configure after run

Hi @312_312 ,

I suggest that you could contact Microsoft for any help on this issue since it would never be confirmed on my side and we couldn't help you on this issue.

Hi, it doesn't look like this problem was actually ever really solved.

If anyone is still running into this issue (like myself), I found the following two options to correct this:

1. Change the condition from "is equal to" into "contains", or
2. Instead of "resubmitting" the flow from Power Automate, create a brand new approval

For me, somewhere along the way from resubmitting my flows, my outcomes became appended to one another, and what was actually being passed to the switch was "Approve, Approve, Approve".

Hope this helps!
