Edit Script, If Field A = Field B

Hi Guys,

I have two fields coming in from my Load Script

ASSIGNED_TO and a COMPLETE_BY

Is it possible to add another field to the script based on the two fields above that if ASSIGNED_TO = COMPLETE_BY then it creates a Field called MASTER_USER?

Hi Colin,

in fact, if your ASSIGNED_TO field is the actual ID, it should work. So, are you having any problems after using this expression?

I mean that it should be enough, let me know it if it doesn't work.

This logic should work for you.

if(len(trim(ASSIGNED_TO)) = 0, 'OPEN',        // tests for blank and nulls

     if( ASSIGNED_TO = COMPLETE_BY , COMPLETE_BY, 'NONE')) AS MASTER_USER

Hi Colin,

Thanks for this, it is very close.

If I just wanted to merge the IDs in ASSIGNED_TO and COMPLETE_BY to create the new field MASTER USER. How would that work in the script?

You can drop the fields at the end of the script.

drop field ASSIGNED_TO ;
