Dropdown Fields: Additional states for IF conditions of dropdown fields.

    It would be good to have a CONTAINS state in IF conditions. If I have a drop down box with several items, I can categorise them with a special text string (even a single, unique character) and then test this with a single IF statement, thus avoiding multiple IF tests.

    For example:

    Payment:
    Credit card
    PayPal
    Cash
    Check (fee)
    Invoice (fee)

    I can then display a radio button if the payment option incurs a fee:

    IF Payment CONTAINS "(fee)" SHOW Payment Fee Acknowledgement

    Of course more states such as BEGINS WITH, ENDS WITH, LIKE, mask, REGEX and so on would be useful!

    Thank you for your suggestion. Please note that we do have states such as Contains, Starts with, Ends with. However, this is not available for the dropdown fields.

    Nevertheless, I have sent a feature request for the suggested conditions on your behalf. We will let you know on this thread once there are any updates to your request.
