Hi @wonka1234 

 

Try selecting '@size'. Your current selection appears to be overriding the entire expression.

@wonka1234 Attaching a sample workflow for your reference, can you check the difference?

@Luke_C  Can you explain how this works? isnt size the Size of field?

Hi @wonka1234, you're correct. I was mistaken in assuming those 3 aligned to the 3 parameters of the function. @binuacs 's solution will get you there.
