Triggering a workflow based on any changes to a field/column

Copper Contributor

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.
