How to compare value from recordtype?

Dear All,

Can anyone please tell me how to compare values retrieved from record type with local value. I am using exact function for similarity but that is not working.

    Can you share some code snippets? The exact() function does a case sensitive comparison. What kind of data do you want to compare?

    Hi Stefan,

    I am comparing the field value from record type and local value. Given below is the code:

    if(
exact(recordType!recordName.fields.fieldName,"some value"),
true(),
false()
)

    OK. I do not understand the purpose of the if() statement, but what is wrong with this approach? Is this the exact syntax you use? If yes, I suggest to check the documentation for how to reference values in record type data.
