Power Automate condition always False despite ColumnHasChanged = True

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by YR-16100643-0 8

Hello,

I am trying to build a Power Automate flow to keep a history of changes made to a SharePoint field.

Expected behavior:

  • When a SharePoint list item is modified.
  • If the column "Expression de besoin DEV" has changed.
  • Then create a new item in another SharePoint list called "Demande de DEVS".

I am using the action:

  Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)
 

Then a condition based on:

 

In the action output, I can clearly see:

 
`
 

which confirms that the column was modified.

 However, the Power Automate condition always evaluates to False, and the Create item action is always skipped.
  Has anyone experienced this issue with ColumnHasChanged properties before?
 
The label is hidden but it's false even if i have changed the comment

    Hello,
     
    looking at your screenshot, the issue is the value "Vrai" in your condition. This is a string, but ColumnHasChanged returns a boolean true so the comparison fails due to type and case sensitivity mismatch.
     
    Please try to switch to expression mode and type true as follows:
     
     
    Hope it helps.
