Exclude Records From Look Up Records Action in Flow Designer

Hi all,

 

In my flow, I'm looking up incident records that meet the following conditions:

How would I make it so incident records that have been commented on within the last 30 days are not included in this action? I'm thinking I need to include an additional condition where Updated is less than 30 days after the Created field.

Hi there,

 

I ended up adding a condition where Updates is less than 2, and that seems to do exactly what I'm wanting. It's probably also a better solution because this method will keep track on all updates to the record, not just when someone leaves a comment.

 Hi @cwolfe01 

 

I'm not sure whether this is a good approach as comments are stored at table sys_journal_field and a update can also happen in many different other ways.

 

My recommendation is to create a database view between the incident and the sys_journal_field table and use this for your lookup.

 

This could be the join definition for the database view:

Hi @cwolfe01 ,

 

The comments are stored in the ys_journal_field table with the table and teh sys_id of the record, when you have the list of record just make sure dont have a record in the last 30 days:

The inside the if make sure you do your custom action.

 

Hope that help you.
