### Issue

Why is my `<APPROVE>="Yes"` checkbox condition failing?

### Cause

WorkflowGen is case sensitive. When creating a condition, ensure that your WorkflowGen condition values match your form element values in both case and spelling.

### Examples of condition statements

#### Condition based on the value of a selected radio button:

`<APPROVE>=YES`

#### Condition based on the value of a selected checkbox:

`<APPROVE>=True` (optimized: `<APPROVE>`)

`<APPROVE>=False` (optimized: `NOT <APPROVE>`)
