Hi @Sutekh,

how is the switch action configured?

Currently it fires 2.5 months or 5.5 months. I need to add a value which fires coming up to 1 month - so 3 weeks.

How does the workflow know if 2.5 or 5.5 months are correct?

Hi @Tarf

The Switch action configuration is below:



Currently there's no logic on the workflow. So when I came to the Flow it just had the two possible values 3 month or 6 month. I'm coming back to Nintex after a couple of years. So with more than two options will I need to add a Condition? 

Hi @Sutekh,

in your workflow there is a variable called "Probation Period". Somewhere before your switch action, this variable gets set to either "3 months" or "6 months". You´d have to set it in your workflow to "1 month" to get your workflow to calculate the 1 month date.

A switch statement checks a given variable for a given number of values (which is then your "condition").

Thanks @Tarf 

There's no action before the Switch Action that I showed which sets the variable. 

There's an action to set a different variable, then a Run If action with two conditions looking at different fields in the SP list. The variable in question - Probationary period end - then gets set in the Calculate Date actions as detailed above. I currently have that variable set to one month in the Calculate Date action I set. So I can't see where else it would be set?

@Tarf Just to put it in context this how it looks:

Okay so maybe the variable has a default value? Or it´s coming from the item properties.

Your switch wouldn´t do anything if the variable had no value.

I've checked the variable and it doesn't have a default. It's set as blank. It seems that the first point that the variable value is set is at those Calculate Date actions. Any ideas?
