Hello Priyanka,

Sorry about the late reply, but hopefully this can be helpful for future references.

You can use this fixture method:

|verify field|FIELD_LABEL or [FIELD_INDEX] or FIELD_LABEL[INDEX]|contains value|VALUE|

to verify a field contains a value that has a comma.

In your example, it would be

|verify field   |Due Date           |in section|Information|contains value|Apr,2019                     |


Note that we also have a similar method for populate a field with a value that contains a comma,

|populate field|FIELD_LABEL or [INDEX] or FIELD_LABEL[INDEX]|with value|VALUE|

These methods are all documented in the cheatsheet as well. 

Thank you for using FitNesse for Appian.

Hi Jose,

I have defined the variable in variables file like below,

!define DueDate {Apr, 2019}

The due date is a text field .I am using the variable like shown below in the wiki page.

|verify field |Due Date |in section| Information|contains|${DueDate } |

Still , it takes the text before comma , PFB the execution log :

2019-04-04 11:41:19,864 [main] DEBUG com.appiancorp.ps.automatedtest.tempo.interfaces.TempoReadOnlyField  - READ ONLY FIELD COMPARISON : Field value [Apr, 2019] compared to Test value [Apr]
2019-04-04 11:41:19,864 [main] DEBUG com.appiancorp.ps.automatedtest.common.AppianObject  - STRING COMPARISON: Field value [Apr, 2019] compared to Test value [Apr]

Regards,
Priyanka

Hello Priyankav,

try to define a variable (Using DEFINE at the top) with a value like this "{Apr, 2019}" and then use the variable ${variable}

it seems like it is taking the comma as a separator of multiple values.
