Good day.
I have a problem with an automation not performing as expected.
I have an orders table with a [code] column and also a customers table with a secret [code] column.
On the orders table I have an action button changing the [Accepted] column from it’s default “No” to “Yes”.
There is an event that gets triggered when the [Accepted] changes to yes.
The event then runs a process doing the following:
- Run a data action Get Manager Code with input(“Code”, “”).
2)Branch on a condition: It compares the entered code with the secret code stored in the customer table
If they are different it changes the [Accepted] back to “No”
If they are the same it goes to 3).
3)If Yes it runs a data action getting the Customer signature with an input(“Signature” , “”) function.
The problem is that the input() functions are not displayed and the manager can not enter his code or signature.
Here is a screenshot of the Monitor and everything seems to be working fine.
Any idea why it is not working as expected?
Thanks

Well, as far as I understand it, data actions can be defined and the called in a step of the bot process.
Or do you say data actions with user input via Input() function is not supported in the steps.
The way I want to do it is to have as little user interaction as possible. This boils down to a
-button click
-a code prompt and
-a signature prompt.
With only actions I’ll have to hide buttons under certain conditions and the user interaction will be
-Button Click (Change [Accepted])
-Button Click (Enter code)
- a code prompt
-Button click (Get signature)
-signature prompt
with the logic making buttons visible as the process flows and changing fields as the logic determines.

Can you explain this a bit more.
I have now tried the following, but it also does not show the user Input() for signature.
The [Accepted] filter is if([Code]=[Customer].[Code], “Yes”, “No”)
and the signature filter is if([Code]=[Customer].[Code], Input(“Signature”, “”), “”)
