How to configure to only trigger the flow if send approval='YES'

Question

Good day,

I have a list that have the column 'Send Approval?' that has the setting as below:

and the flow that I am working on is to continue the flow only if 'Send Approval?' is equal to 'YES'. I have tried to setup a condition after an automated triggering: but failed

I also tried to add a trigger condition in the 'When an item is created or modified' setting: again it failed.

Can anyone please help me?

thank you

Hi @NewLearner ,

I tested your problem, and I found that the reason for the failure is because the column name contains the symbol "?".

When I create a choice column named "Send Approval", I use the trigger condition in the 'When an item is created or modified' setting, and it works fine.

@equals(triggerBody()?['Send Approval']?['value'],'Yes')  

When I create a choice column named "Send Approval?", No matter how I change the trigger condition in the 'When an item is created or modified' setting. Flow will not be triggered.

And if I change the column name and delete "?", it has no effect, maybe its internal name cannot be modified. I suggest you re-create a choice column name without "?", try to tell me the result, please?
