How to Run Second Condition Successfully if First Condition is False

[JoeHrabnicky]

Flow: Microsoft Form > Power Automate > Azure DevOps

Within my flow, I have three conditions that run one after the other. These are used to automatically update the Azure DevOps work item that was created at the beginning of the flow and append the appropriate tags. I have found that if the first condition is False, the next two conditions fail, but I'm not sure why.

After running a few tests, I found that if the preceding condition is true the following condition runs successfully. If the preceding condition is false, the following conditions fail.

I've added wait timers (5 seconds) to try and resolve the issue, with no success, and configured the run after so that the flow executes fully regardless of whether the conditions fail.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Does your second condition use the values from the Update a work item in the first condition?

If so, then it won't exist if the first condition is false as it won't go into the Yes branch to run the Update a work item.

Hi @grantjenkins!

I don't believe anything within the condition relies on the Update a work item task from the previous condition, but here is the configuration of the task in case I am incorrect:

All three conditions contain this same Update a work item task configured in the same way, the only difference is the tag that is being appended to the work item.

Can you make sure in your second and third conditions that they are using the Id from the Create a work item, and not from the first condition's Update a work item.

@grantjenkins see, I KNEW it would be something obvious like that! I was in fact using the Id from the update task, rather than the original create task. Thank you SO MUCH for your help!
