Flow Designer Using Variable for Trigger Condition Not Working

[jlaps]

Good morning community.

I am building a flow that is watching for sc_task inserts and doing stuff based on trigger info. On one request type, I am referencing the short description on the TASK as well as a variable value. This is not triggering when created even though the variable is correct. What am I doing wrong?

the Docusign trigger is working fine, but the Jira request is not.

I ended up editing the workflow that was creating the TASK to modify the short description so I could just use that. Flow Designer seems to have many odd restrictions that make it annoying to use. Its great when it works, but it seems to not work in a large number of situations that are not clear until you spend time on it watching it not work as it should. Business rules seem far more reliable, and I will likely stop using Flows.
