Triggering a workflow based on any changes to a field/column
Are you able to specify a trigger to look at if a specific field/column changes value (to something different)? We currently have a trigger when a specific column equals a certain value, but are unable to target any changes to a field/column to trigger the workflow.
Thanks!
notbobsmith have a look at the blog post by Laura Rogers at https://wonderlaura.com/2020/08/25/flow-when-a-sharepoint-column-is-updated/ but don't just copy her expression as it puts in an incorrect couple of apostrophes, the expression should be
sub(int(triggerOutputs()?['body/{VersionNumber}']),1)You must make sure that versioning is switched on for your list.Rob
