IF CONDITION IN PART LIST COLUMN DEFAULT TEXT

[raj1231]

Hello,

I'm trying to populate a column text based on a condition.
'MW_STOCK SIZE', 'DESCRIPTION'and 'CATALOG' are three columns. I 'm trying to do IF CATALOG = EMPTY THEN MW_STOCKSIZE =DESCRIPTION ELSE MW_STOCKSIZE =CATALOG
Please help me regarding this.

You need to link that "column attribute" to an expression.
I'll call it "COLUMN_EXP"

Attributes, "DESCRIPTION" & "CATALOG" need to be linked to their own expressions. "******_EXP"

Now all contents of all three are in the expression system and then you can apply the logic.

"COLUMN_EXP"
if (CATALOG_EXP = "") (MW_STOCKSIZE_EXP) else (CATALOG_EXP)

This method works fine but it doesn't allow the COLUMN attribute to edited directly anymore without breaking the link to the "COLUMN_EXP"
It would be great if there was another variable that would allow a unique input to "COLUMN".

If so could it may be possible to super-cede the expression without breaking the link.
