Hi all,

 

In my Form's process, I'm using a Exclusive Gateways to choose the right way.

I have some difficulty with conditions because my Field to check is in a Table and it can have multi values.

e.g :

In my Exclusive Gateways, I would like to load the Form A if my variable contain "Chef de Section" but my condition only have mathematical operations.

Regards

Hi Oliver,

When conditional expression checks if variable inside table matches a value, it would return true if any of the table rows matches the value.

So you could just use /dataset/Table/Column_1="A" to test if any Column_1 inside Table equals to "A".

How long has that been the case? I’ve never had any luck using tables in gateway conditions, but I guess it must have been the type of evaluations I was using.

The conditional expression used XML query expression against a list of variables in xml format, so the evaluation follows XQuery Comparisons https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xquery_syntax.asp

There is no option for "contains" currently, but based on Rui's comments you don't actually need one.

Create a hidden field on your form, and use a calculation in that field to check if the table has the target value, then use that hidden field in your gateway instead.
