[Vtigercrm-developers] Multiselect combo issu

[Tony Sandman]

Just to make sure this will be addressed asap I repost as follows:

If I had a Multi Select Combo Box ("Field1") which has 3 possible values
("A","B" & "C")
If I were to setup a workflow to check Field1 to see if it had a value of A
in it, then I would put

Field 1 - IS - A

but that would only be TRUE if the Field ONLY had A in it. If it had A & B,
then it would be FALSE (or logic would dictate that would be the answer, I
havent tested this out!)
In order to catch the combination of A & B I would have to enter another
condition

Field1 - IS - A & B

but I would also have to do

Field1 - IS - A & C
PLUS
Field1 - IS - A & B & C

So I'd have to do 4 conditions to check for 1 value. (and this would get
exponentially bigger for each extra possible Value) - This is the
disadvantage!

OR

If Multi Select Combo Box had a 'Contains' Condition then I would just put

Field1 - CONTAINS - A

And the advantage of that is that it would remain valid even if extra
possible values were added.


Back to the original point about the Picklist and Multi-Select Combo Boxes
conditions being reversed,
The conditions for a Picklist ("Field2") with values "D","E" & "F" would be

Field2 - IS - D

Okay? but then why does it also have

Field2 - CONTAINS - D
Field2 - STARTS WITH - D
Field2 - ENDS WITH - D

as they are all the same thing! Picklist doesnt need these conditions, but
Multi-Select does
