Request Classification:
1. Administrative Services
2. Facilities
3. Other

Request Type:
Based on what&amp;#39;s selected above (if &amp;quot;other&amp;quot; is selected, no &amp;quot;request type&amp;quot; dropdown and user has to input explanation in textbox)

It&amp;#39;s only when I select &amp;quot;Other&amp;quot; that the workflow will not trigger the email. When the user submits the button, I have a dummy field to equal a certain name. In SharePoint Designer, I have it set to when the dummy field is equal to that name, then email so and so. It all works when I have it set to the different request types. It&amp;#39;s only when &amp;quot;Other&amp;quot; is selected, that the email does not get triggered. I am getting the message on the workflow history: &amp;quot;coercion failed: unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.&amp;quot;

Any idea why this might be?

Thank you.
