Assume for the moment that my auto-assign equation is corrrect

Assume for the moment that it is one of several auto-assign rules & it is not the last one in the series

Assume filters are not an issue

Assume Source is not an issue

Assume I closed / re-opened IQ between creation of auto-assign rule & test (shouldn't be necessary)

Assume I jumped to a different grid & back to test rule (shouldn't be necessary)

Assume I jumped to a different item & back to test rule (shouldn't be necessary)

Goal:

if item contains word election then add check mark to Boolean field check mark

Result:

IQ doe this ok if -- and only if -- the word election appears by itself in the item

but as soon as there Is another word in the item or a new item with a full sentence including the word "election"

Ex: election petition deadline in Aug 10,

IQ does not auto-assign to field "election"

Steps to reproduce:

create auto-assign equation in item field that forces Boolean check mark in field "election" if the word "election" is used in item

This equation should be in the midst of a series of auto-equations, rather than the last one

In a grid, create an item with just the word election in it to make sure IQ is assigning to field election

In same grid create another item with several words including the word election & see if it forces Boolean check mark in election field

Hi Jan, yes there's a problem with auto-assigns. That's fixed in next version.

Armando, do you mean "V" or "W"?

He meant V, but I think you need to use the HasKeyword script to do what you want...

(see my earlier reply to your post)

Unfortunately, my particular problem was not cured in "V"

Here are the auto-assign rules for item

Once I created all the fields, (GTD_Pndg, ... MIRMA), it works just fine here...

A) So you created an item with the word "election" within a sentence & IQ picked it up & assigned it to boolean "election" field?

B) It works here too if the item is only the word "election"

If A) works on your machine, then how do I solve the problem here?

>If A) works on your machine, then how do I solve the problem here?

~~A) works here, so either (1) I send you a working file to see if it works for you, or (2) you send me a non-working file to see if it works here... You decide...~~

It works for all auto-assign except election. The issue is certainly, confusion between "election" the field and "election" the text string to find. I'll look into it and will report back. For now, renaming the field to bElection, will make it work.

Thanks Pierre. Crazy, right?

Pierre, I just created another yes/no field called "pool" to track something

The same thing occurred, i.e.

If I create an item with the word "pool" in a sentence, IQ did NOT auto-assign to field "Pool"

If I create an item with the word "pool" by itself, IQ auto-assigns to field "Pool"

What could be going on?

Is it possible IQ can only handle "x" # of auto-assign rules?

Whatever, I'd like to see a fix, PLEASE as I have a big project coming up & want to track everything in IQ

Thanks

I don't think you've read my previous post correctly...

. This occurs when the field name is the same as the trigger text. Your second example is exactly that... Fieldname=Pool, and text is "Pool".

I'll fix it, but for now rename the field and it will work !

I read it correctly but I didn't bother extrapolating from it

I've since fixed it as you suggested & it now works

Nevertheless, I find it interesting that if I create an item with several words that appear in auto-assign equations, some which are corrected as you suggested and some which are NOT corrected they ALL work now, i.e. some match one way, some match another way. What's that about?

Fixed in v0.9.25W: In Equations (row, column, and auto-assign) String enclosed in " " are no longer confused with field names

Hi Jan,

What is the actual Auto-assign used ?

Consider using the system equation: HasKeyword (in VBScript Editor)

Something like: AM:YourCheckField = HasKeyword(Item, "election", false)

auto assign equation not auto assigning under certain circumstances
