Using if(contains) statement in update item.

Posted on by ML147243

Hello,

I am still learning this correct formatting and syntax for this system. I have a list with multiple columns and shown. I would like to add a Role column that updates based on the class that was selected. My current flow works for the function in the Totals for class, so it is likely how the If statement is written. I get an error message about the number of characters.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello @ML147243 ,

the if(...) should be entered as an expression, not as a string.

@tom_riha Hi Thanks,
Yes, I have tried to enter it as an expression and I get that the expression is invalid.

My guess would be that you're missing one or more closing brackets. Try to put the whole expression in some code editor, e.g. 'Visual Studio Code' to check if every opening bracket has also a closing bracket.

So it was that I was using " instead of ' . The flow isn't working though, I tried changing class to class value but it still is not working.

after some tweaking, this was what worked,

if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'EDM RN'),'RN',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'Tech'),'CNA',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'CNA'),'CNA',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'HUC'),'HUC',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'SIS RN'),'RN',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'RN'),'RN',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'HF'),'RN',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'student'),'SN',
if(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'SCM RN'),'RN',
If(contains(triggerBody()?['Class/Value'],'Athena'),'HFMG','other'))))))))))
