Field:

Sorry, i cant share a sample ..

but i will try to explain it :

i have 4 fields which represents flags for every customer.

in the UI , if the user select 6 in the vMonth variable so the action will work on filed 1

and if the user selects 12 in the vMonth variable so the action will work on filed 2 and so..

work means - search the value 1 and select the relevant customers .

Create a variable for the field as below

vfield =

if(vMonth=6, 'Field1',

if(vMonth=12, 'Field2' and so on))

And use the variable for field name

$(vfield)
