Automation not triggered by text field

Hi Guys,

When I was trying to figure out a solution for this post, I encountered a scenario where the update automation is not triggered when we update a text field. Please refer to the video below.

Was this the case before?

NOTE: It would be great if the links provided as hints opened up in a new tab.

Thank you.

Hi guys!

Does this happen to me alone?

Hey @Bene_Immanuel,

I can’t tell you a 100%, but something rings in my head that this is in fact the case.

What I remember is that I had to set a checkbox from a custom app to make the rules trigger when I wanted to check for a text field change. So I guess it is the same for updates via the UI.

If you go to the automation rule editor, you could choose the fields you want to listen to:

Text fields and multiline text fields are not there, so maybe another hint, that changes to these field-types are not covered.

So no official confirmation of your findings, but it seems to be the same for me.

Best,
Tom
