Strange Behavior in Button Visibility using template column

[Carl_Johnson]

I have a button block that is visible when a value is selected using a choice list. selecting a list item makes the column not empty… all good when i use a regular text column.

But I need to use a template column that combines the product name + its size to create unique choice selections (e.g. “eggs: 24” vs just “eggs” so the all of the rows get displayed in the choice list)

when I write the template value to the column the not empty visibility condition in my workflow hides the button. When i look at the data in the column it clearly lists “eggs:24” in the column so its not empty yet there is no button.

If I switch the choice column back to write the plain “product name” text value the button comes back.

Ideas?

Do you have a fixed number of known ‘sizes’? If yes, change visibility logic to ‘includes 12’ or ‘includes 24’, etc…

thanks for the idea. Unfortunately the number of items changes each week.

My question is - is it not possible to use a template column when evaluating empty/not empty? If so i will build some other logic but this feels a bit “buggy” to me.

Happy Holidays!

solved my own problem. As usual = its not Glide, its me…

The break was in the relation column. I was using the prior “product name” not the template in the relation. all fixed. thanks!
