Hello Community,

Satish,

dual allows you to store a value as both text and a number.

For example,

dual('Yes', 1)

dual('No', 0)

This would enable you to sort by the numeric part which may be in a different order to the text order, or maybe sum it, whereas if it were a plain text field this might not be possible.
