Field value based on selection in another field

[jja]

Hi

I have a list and a form where i select record type lets say A. IF user selects record type A then for him powerapps form shows 2 fields x and y to fill. IF user selects record type B then form shows for him fields  w and z to fill.

in flow when sending approval and mail and need to use these fields. How to achieve  in flow so that if record A is selected i put z and y in details and if record B is selected i use w and z fields?

I know how to do that with Condition and then build additional block but this will enlarge my flow. Can i do it in a single logic not using conditions?

Hi @jja,  I would do this with a Switch case and put the email with the correct fields in each switch box, like  in the example below.

Hi

Yes i know how to do that but this is multi approval flow this means i will have 2 separate blocks and it will be a pain to maintain this... if i could get this with a functio nand then within th efunction to return corect value based on that field

Hi @jja,

You can use the logic function to input the approval title and content according to the dynamic content. If so, the Flow will not be enlarged.

 For example:

if(equals(triggerBody()['text'],'A'),'I want A','I want B')

You can refer to this document:

You can have a try, I hope it can help you.

Thanks that makes the trick!

Thow now i am in doubt weather to use this easer approach or separate this flow into additional block based on customer type for future different processes configuration if needed. But anyway now i know how to use this if function. Thanks a lot

Unless I'm mising something it doesn't answer your original question which I thought was you wanted the fields to change in the details of the approval email depending on what was selected, not just a change to the title.

No i wanted just to take the coresponding field values if a certain type is selected.

With your approach i can create completely different logic based on the selected type what is very good and what i am considering now
