Cb Substitions - using "if" to compare two field values was created by rgarderet
Hello,
I am using the "if" substitution in some text at the top of a list (in the description field). I would like to display text based on comparing two field values from a user.
The following works:
[cb:if cb_requests_count="5"]You have requested 5 connections, which is the maximum allowed at any one time.etc...
but I would like to compare it to a user-specific field value, not "5" as in:
[cb:if cb_requests_count=cb_max_allowed]You have requested [cb_max_allowed] connections, which is the maximum allowed at any one time... etc
This isn't working, and I'm not sure if its just syntax that is not allowed, or if my field types are wrong. (cb_max_allowed is a value from a drop-down menu that I am setting depending on how many I want to give them).
Do you have any insights or alternative suggestions?
Many thanks,
Remy.

The IF substitutions can't compare field value to field value. It's something we're looking into improving in a later release. Likely will be done by just supporting nested substitutions in it (e.g. [cb:if cb_requests_count="[cb_max_allowed]"]) like with parser substitutions in CB Auto Actions. For now easiest way to do this is probably a Code field using CB Code Field with the below code.
Then you'd just IF substitution against the code field against a value of 1 (maxed reached) or 0 (max not reached).
return ( (int) '[cb_requests_count]' == (int) '[cb_max_allowed]' ? 1 : 0 );Then you'd just IF substitution against the code field against a value of 1 (maxed reached) or 0 (max not reached).

Hi Kyle,
Thanks very much for the fast response, as well as the excellent suggestion to use code. I will implement it that way.
Best regards,
Remy.
