This is #FlowNinjaHack 126

Sometimes, we have complex Condition blocks in Power Automate.

And when we run the flow, it just shows “false”, which is a bit hard to debug.

One way I’ve started doing, is to write a Compose debug statement that shows the output of each component of my condition.
I show the Code View here as well so you get the idea.

To convert from the Condition block to these expressions can be a bit tricky, since you can’t use Code View easily for Condition. So here’s a second hack.

Paste this to a text editor, something that understands JSON. You’ll get this part.

Now this is still not the right format, but you can then go from this to:

not(contains(body('Select_page_filename'), outputs('Compose_-_Old_Title'))

With a lot less pain.
This is the debug message you’ll see when you run now.
