Hi,
It is ternary if-else operator in tMap. Condition?value if true: value if false
E.g.
(row1.name == null) ? "true"(value) : "false"(row1.name) returns the String "true" or "false" based on a Boolean value.

row1.CLITPR!="*"?Import_as400_presta.id_default_group=="2":Import_as400_presta.id_default_group=="1"

Could you please tell us more about your use case?
Best regards

Hi,
Thank you for your answer !
I want this result in the case default_group :
row1.CLITPR!="*"?Import_as400_presta.id_default_group=="2":Import_as400_presta.id_default_group=="1"
To summarize: if CLITPR is different to "*" then the default group is "2" else the default group is "1"
The result of the second table depends on the value of the primary table .
Do you know what i mean ?

Thank you Sabrina

Hi,
If I understand you well, you can use expression as:

row1.CLITPR.equals("*")?"Import_as400_presta.id_default_group==1":"Import_as400_presta.id_default_group==2"
The result will return the String "true" or "false" based on a Boolean value.

Let me know if it is OK with you.

Hi,
I have already used this solution !
My needs are :
The result will return the String "1" or "2" in the case default_group and not a boolean.
Let me know if it is OK with you Sabrina

Hi,
You should use row1.CLITPR.equals("*")?"1":"2" without Import_as400_presta.id_default_group. It is just an example to make the String result "true" or "false" more clear.
