Run If action only works on initial data form entry? Looking for alternative

I’ve got a NWC workflow and form. After a form has been entered, the user is supposed to come back into the form and complete some follow-up questions after a specific date/time. 
 

I’ve got a “Wait for event in list item” action that pauses until these 4 supplemental questions are answered. After they have been answered, it moves onto a “Run If” action where I want someone to get an email if any of the four questions were answered with a “no”. 
 

Apparently, the “Run If” action only looks at start data. It will not take into account fields that are populated after it’s been submitted. It immediately skips over this action. 
 

Are there any recommendations to workaround this issue? Maybe using different actions to achieve the same outcome?

Place a “Query a list” action right before the “Run If true” action.  This will store the data from the list item in an object variable. You should be able to access the data from the object variable in the “Run if true” action in your workflow.
