Hello
I got a field named MOVEMENT
it has the following values:
HC
ATTR
RECRUT
ATTR_RATE
RECRUT_RATE

I have a variable named vL.ToggleSelection
i want that if the user selects HC,RECRUT, or ATTR to set the variable vL.ToggleSelection to 1 otherwise set it to 2

how can I trigger field selection to set a variable?

Hi @ali_hijazi here an option for starting:

first create the variable ths way :

=if(wildmatch(MOVEMENT,'HC', 'RECRUT', 'ATTR') > 0, 1, 2)

And then you can test it , i tested in a text box :

Check the functions related to match to test them:
