3785881 - Value Selection Not Available for Technical ID Fields in Autoflow Conditions

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

  1. Open Autoflow and create or edit a rule.
  2. Add a condition using a field that is represented by a Technical ID.
  3. Attempt to define a comparison against a fixed value.
  4. 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:

  1. Use Field-to-Field comparison when configuring conditions involving Technical ID fields.
  2. Consider using an alternative field that supports fixed-value comparison if the business requirement allows.
  3. 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.
