This morning my action stopped working. I have an action on an inline list with a condition that opens a form when FALSE, else Notification. It is not opening the form when FALSE, however when TRUE the notification works. Not sure why this stopped working. Any ideas?

@Errcomp would it have anything to do with the timing of the google outage around the world today? Have you tried again recently? I had issues earlier but cleared now.

@Errcomp Hi have you checked that the underlying data is showing ‘FALSE’? I have noticed in the past that it can be case sensitive and therefore it might be ‘False’ or ‘false’ or ‘FALSE’ maybe worth checking?

Good point. I tried that out, but it didn’t fix it. In fact, it looks like it is properly matching when using “FALSE” because it doesn’t show the else condition (showing a notification). The problem is nothing happens when I click on it, when a form should come up.

@Errcomp ok, you mentioned that it’s ‘stopped working’ try deleting and re creating or have you done that?

The value is in fact ‘FALSE’ and not empty? Checking for Not True is usually a little safer than checking for False.

Are you still able to go in and edit the Form?

Actually erasing it and remaking it worked! Thanks for all the help
