Triggering flow when column in SharePoint List is edited
There is no dedicated trigger for SharePoint list column changes. Also, you cannot check if the column value is changed or not directly using the trigger conditions.
Hence, you will have to let the flow run and then inside the flow check if column value is changed or not using "Condition" action. Based on the condition, you continue the flow if column value is changed or terminate the flow.
You can check if the column value is changed or not by following my answer at: Conditionally trigger flow based on the previous value stored in the column - link to detailed blog & video by April Dunnam provided here

Hello Ganesh
Lalit, you write on the step 4 about Filter. But with that trigger you mention there is no "Trigger".
4. In the Filter section, click Add condition.
Do you mean to add an action an then filter it?
Thank you

Above response by Lalit is AI generated response and it does not work in Power Automate flows (I believe he did not test his solution before responding here). There is no filter option in the "trigger".
Check the links given in my response and solution given by April Dunnam, it should work for you.

JFM_12JFM_12 I fully agree with ganeshsanap who is a highly experienced member of our community; the responses by Lalit Mohan are always AI-generated and often contain errors. Many forums don't allow AI-generated responses and I think the Microsoft tech forums should do this as well; they don't indicate that the poster has any idea what they are talking about or has any real-world experience and it's just lazy. But more damagingly it's often giving a totally wrong answer.
