I’ve had trouble getting the On Change event to trigger in the attached workflow, when a Select or Multi-Select is ‘cleared’ or ‘deselected’.

My use case uses the even to fill a variable with the value of the Select, which works beautifully, except for when its cleared, in which case my variable now retains the most-recent selection, instead of null-ed (which is what I require).

Any reason this is the case, or option to get this event to fire “On _any_ Change”, including deselect?

I’m having the same problem. Did you find a solution? are you also using the new select component?

Sadly no reply or response from WeWeb support at all.

Among other issues, this seems trivial that OnChange isn’t truly On Change for a very widely used component.

Yes I am using the brand new Select so I would have thought they would have come across this issue in QA.

Hi @djburt 👋

I would recommend contacting the support team via the in-app chat if you think it’s a bug or, if you’d like the community to help you, sharing a short video of what how things are setup on your side and where you’re stuck.
