Visibility Filter with multiple Not Equal conditions Always Shows Component When Any Filters are True

You have multiple Lead Statuses but only want to show a custom Flow Component when the Lead Status is not set to specific values (e.g., "New" or "Working"). You configure Visibility Filters as follows:

Filters:

• Record > Lead Status Not Equal "New"
• Record > Lead Status Not Equal "Working"

Show Component when: Any filters are true
When you test by setting a Lead record's Status to "New," the Flow Component still displays — even though you expected it to be hidden.

Root Cause

Because Lead Status is a single-value picklist, only one value can be set at a time. This means that when using Any filters are true, one of the two "Not Equal" conditions will always evaluate to true.

Example 1 — Lead Status = "Qualified" (Component should display)

Both filters are true → component displays. ✔️

Example 2 — Lead Status = "New" (Component should be hidden)

Because "Any filters are true" only requires one condition to be met, the second filter (Not Equal "Working") evaluates to TRUE — so the component still displays, even though the intent was to hide it.

Key Insight: With a single-value picklist, a "Not Equal" condition for any value other than the current one will always be true. Using "Any filters are true" with multiple "Not Equal" conditions will therefore almost always show the component.
