RE: Using a rule with an if statement

Hi Tony,

How about using the below mentioned code snippet:

if(
  ri!firstName = "John",
  "Manager",
  if(
    ri!firstName = "Mary",
    "CEO",
    if(
      ri!firstName = "Bob",
      "VP",
      ri!firstName
    )
  )
)

As per this above snippet, if ri!firstName is not in (John, Mary and Bob) then instead of setting null/{}/"" and loosing the input value, you can return the same input value i.e. ri!firstName.

I am not sure whether are you looking for the same sort of solution or not, but in this case, when you navigate to the previous page, then you will have the same value as what you have provided and not in (John, Mary and Bob). And also, if you are using conditional statement means, you are supposed to store a value in either case, either it can be a null or a value.

What is the result of the IF statement currently being stored into? It sounds (just guessing) like you're storing it into a separate filed i.e. ri!position, in which case it sounds as if you would probably just want to keep the current value of ri!position (instead of empty string) in the final "else" case.
