The data isn't altered when the workflow determines the conditions are both false.  How do I stop the workflow from adding additional text?  Here's the workflow:

Hi,
How are the Set Field value Controls configured?
Are they using a lookup at all. The reason I ask is that the format of the output looks like the result of a lookup ID;#text.
If you use an Update List Item action instead does that resolve your issue?
