Rule to make a multiline text field conditionally visible not working

[Daniel Schauer]

Nice work on the solution for modern SharePoint online sites!

I added it to one of my sites, where I have a catalog of applications. The catalog has a dropdown choice field named ApplicationDisposition. If that dropdown has a value that is not blank, “Pending” or “Deployed” I want a multiline text field named ApplicationDispositionReason to become visible; in all other cases, the multiline text field should be hidden.

I made a rule that I believe should work. It does initially hide the multiline text field because the default ApplicationDisposition is “Pending.” However, it does not show the field when I change the ApplicationDisposition to “Deployed.” I have also tried a similar rule where I had an action on the “No” side to make the multiline text field visible, and that didn’t work either.

Never mind, I got this working as I would’ve expected by making my trigger logic more simple (see attached screenshot).
