Hornbill automation node - manual summary update

[lee mcdermott]

Hi,

 

I have a node configured to manually update the summary field using

&[global["flowcode"]["customFieldC"]]

 

where custom field c has been populated. However during the intelligent form capture there are various fields hidden and then populated  depending on the answer and they populate other custom fields i.e customFieldD and E etc.

 

Is it possible to change &[global["flowcode"]["customFieldC"]] in the above Node so that it will populate with Custom C if that is populated but if it is blank and Custom E was populated it updates the summary with &[global["flowcode"]["customFieldE"]] instead?

thanks

lee

You will need to test the values in a Branch node and then have the workflow respond accordingly.

thanks steve will give it a go.

wasnt sure if there was some magic txt that could be added to the above like if or statements if fields were blank.

I will try the branch node.

how do you configure the decision node? I have tried this but it doesnt work.

As the value in the custom field is going to be different depending on what logging form is used but they all use the same workflow i don't think I can populate the custom expression with an actual value.

Can't you just set it to check if Custom C is blank?

thats what i was hoping, but not sure how or what syntax it would need?

i have managed to do it. Spotted the "does not contain" option in the list of options and then left the result Blank. Seems to be working ok.

 

thanks for the help
