Symptom
A fixed Value option is not available when configuring Autoflow rule conditions for certain fields.
- The condition editor only allows field-to-field comparison.
- A fixed value cannot be selected for the affected field.
- The behavior remains unchanged even when the field is exposed through a reference field.
Environment
- SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Service Cloud Version 2
Reproducing the Issue
- Open Autoflow and create or edit a rule.
- Add a condition using a field that is represented by a Technical ID.
- Attempt to define a comparison against a fixed value.
- Review the available condition options.
Result
- The Value option is not available.
- Only field-to-field comparison can be configured.
Expected Result
- The field can be compared against either a fixed value or another field.
Cause
This behavior is currently by design.
For fields represented as Technical ID fields, Autoflow supports only Field-to-Field comparison. Comparison against a fixed value is not supported. Therefore, the Value selection option is not displayed during rule configuration.
Exposing the field through a reference field configuration does not change this behavior.
Resolution
Currently, fixed-value comparison is not supported for Technical ID fields in Autoflow.
As a workaround:
- Use Field-to-Field comparison when configuring conditions involving Technical ID fields.
- Consider using an alternative field that supports fixed-value comparison if the business requirement allows.
- Where applicable, derive or expose a suitable business field that can be evaluated in the rule logic.
If support for fixed-value comparison with Technical ID fields is required, vote for an enhancement request through the SAP Influence Portal.
