I have a Search for related record in Salesforce node that is set up to read search value 1 OR search value 2, but keeps failing because there is no value in search value 1. There is a search value for the second option. 

 

Failed to find a record in Salesforce (2.26.5)

Required field "Search Value" (searchValue) is missing.

Help me fix it

Hi ​@DKaetzer 

Required fields must have a value.

 

For us to have true context, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.

Oh OK - so the “Or” function is not really an OR function then? Since regardless it requires that initial value to be present? Can I remove the required setting?
