Updating a detour without using a check box

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if there is any way to update a Detour tool without the use of a checkbox. I currently have a tree that is being used to make a selection and based on the "type" of selection it should redirect the data stream to it's appropriate container. I just want to know if there is a more efficient way because I feel like the checkbox is a little redundant after making the correct selection of the appropriate type. I feel like it gives a user the opportunity to fail even though it is still present.

 

Thank you.

!Contains([#1],’true’)

That might work as a formula for the action

Doesn't seem to work. I tried tweaking it to fit what I'm trying to do. This is my formula:

 

IF Left([#1], 2) = "01" THEN 'false'
ELSEIF Left([#1], 2) = "02" THEN 'true'
ELSEIF Left([#1], 2) = "03" THEN 'true'
ELSE 'true'
ENDIF

Hi,

Attached is an example that might help you.  I think all you're really missing is an = 'true' after your IF statement.  For the sake of simplicity I used a drop down example to show this.

Let me know if this helps!

Wow all I was missing was the = "true"

 

Thank you!
