Formulas on boolean fields.

Dear folks,

My question today is in regard of a request where i’d automate a few boolean fields to become true if a certain condition is met, not through a rule, but rather using a formula on the field itself. Ends up I don’t believe it to be possible to have formulas on boolean fields as we have on strings, numbers and date field types, for instance.

Is there a way to have a formula work on boolean fields, or perhaps, a workaround?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Manoel 

You’ve ruled out rules, but the workaround you’re looking for will be a rule :). Dependencies are only possible with dropdowns.

The most expensive part of building is the mistakes. That's true in construction. Not so much in CSOps. So ask questions, make mistakes and learn. All views expressed here are my own.

    @Manoel you could also use case fields in Data Designer depending on your use case. As @alizee says rules would generally be the way to go, but if you don’t need the fields as permanent attributes and/or you’re building a custom data set anyways, Data Designer could be another option.
