Check for non-empty field

Kristjan Geir Mathiesen over 8 years ago

Hey.

I have a field that I want to be be shown if my custom field "jira_project_c" has a value (i.e., is not empty). So I am going to use the "Dependent" attribute/feature of the field. Now I just can´t hammer together the formula :/

What I really need is the opposite of equal($jira_project_c,"") but there does not seem to be a "NotEqual" function...

Tried: ifElse(equal(strlen($jira_project_c),0),0,1) but Formula Builder complains "The formula must be of type boolean"

Help please!

Thanks as always,

KGM

Hi Kristjian,
With dependent fields, you want the formula to evaluate to true or false. I think you were on the right track, but are making it too complicated. I would try something like:
greaterThan(strlen($jira_project_c),0)
