Hi everyone,

I have an expression that is coming up as invalid, but I need help pointing out where the error is:

if(equals(item()?['functionName']),'approval',(concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'] '"> Approve file</a>')),(concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'] '"> Delete file</a>'))

Suspecting that the error lies in where the quote marks are, but I need help!

Thanks,

Anne

Try this

if(equals(item()?['functionName'],'approval'),(concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'] '"> Approve file</a>')),(concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'] '"> Delete file</a>'))

I think it was issue with equals function, you may have forget to one more comparing parameter there

Hi @annetoal

Could you try this

If(equals(item()?['functionName'],'approval'),concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'], '"> Approve file</a>'),
concat('<a href="', item()?['respondLink'], '"> Delete file</a>'))

You are welcome 🙂

It was issue with concat, you have forget to put comma after item()?['respondLink'] in concat function inaddition to issue with equals function

Have a nice day 🙂
