How to Use a Simple If Statement in a Parameter Field

The following piece of Ruby code will let you add an if statement into your parameter fields. This will allow you to have different values/data passed either farther along the workflow, or directly into fields on a form (or wherever you are passing data to).

Here is the basic structure of the if statement:

Conditional Statement ? True : False

An example where 'if question' is a radio button choice with Yes and No as the options.

<%=@values['if question'] == "Yes" ? "You Said Yes": "You Said No" %>

If the answer is Yes, you get the text "You Said Yes" if No you get the text "You Said No".

It is also possible to use the longer format:

if conditional statment
true
else
false
end

This is the same example in long format:

<%= if @values['if question'] == "Yes" 
"You Said Yes"
else
"You Said No"
end %>
