Common Condition list does not show if current item field equals value (SPD 2013 Workflow)

I am creating my very first workflow and I do not see the option for "If current item field equals value" under Common Conditions. I only have 'If any value equals value" on the list.

How will I get this option?

I am trying to set this to "is empty" but I am unable to do so.

Looking into trying to use "If current item field equals value" if it will resolve my issue.

@FranQuim-0654,

In SharePoint designer 2013 platform workflow, this is the default behavior,the "If current item field equals value" condition no longer exists, we could use condition "If any value equals value" to look up the SharePoint current item field:

To set it to "is empty", we could directly change the operator from equals to "is empty":

Thank you @JulieWang-MSFT. That explains why I am not getting the option in SPD 2013.

Will it only give me two options ("equals and not equals") if the Current Item is set to be answered with a tick box? I noticed that all 2nd tier items that are answerable with a tick box only have those options, unlike the 1st tier questions which are answered by a radio button (Yes, No and Not Applicable). Tried creating a parallel workflow and set the variables to text or numbers when a condition is met and if it is blank or 0 it'll do the next task, didn't work either.

Both 1st and 2nd tier items are set to Choice in SP, the only difference is that the 1st tier was set to Field (element) Type and 2nd tier was set to Group Type in Infopath. Not sure if this is related to the issue, I'm just looking into all the possible points of failure as to why I am not getting the complete list on the 2nd tier Items.

@97561412,

In order to get a better forum experience, we changed your answer to a comment.

Since the Yes/No column type has default value, so it could not be empty, as a workaround, you could create a single line of text column to store yse or no value.
