Hi,

Is there any equivalent to Switch or Case statements in Appian.

If I have to implement code similar to the below code line, how can I achieve in Appian.

Any suggessions.

CASE

WHEN ( action="A") THEN    WorkflowStatus="WAC", RequestStatus="RAC"

WHEN ( action="B") THEN    WorkflowStatus="WBC", RequestStatus="RBC"

WHEN ( action="C") THEN    WorkflowStatus="WCC", RequestStatus="RCC"

END CASE

      The next best way, in general, is using nested IF statements, though if your values are generally going to be static and plaintext in nature, Stefan's suggestion of using a Decision table might be better.

      Or go with a decision table.

        Thanks for your response to my post.

        I have never used decision table(s) earlier and not sure how this works. Need to explore.
