Comparison operation using Iron Python script on a multilist document property not working

[Michael Zaragoza]

Newbie question here.

I'm unable to get a comparison operation to work using a multilist document property in an Iron Python script.

The document property has one of two values, "PASS_NUMBER" or "FAIL_NUMBER", which the user can select and with a change in property value the script runs.

The comparison I'm testing is the following:

if Document.Properties["TestSumResult"] == "PASS_NUMBER":

With Document.Properties["TestSumResult"] set to "PASS_NUMBER" the expression effectively returns false eventhough that's not the case. What am I doing wrong

Here's whole script:

from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import DataColumn, TagsColumn

from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import DataPropertyClass, DataType, DataValueCursor, IDataColumn, IndexSet

from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import RowSelection

# Tag the marked rows

markedRowSelection = Document.ActiveMarkingSelectionReference.GetSelection(Document.Data.Tables["MyData"])

table = Document.Data.Tables["MyData"]

myTagColumn = table.Columns.Item["TestSum"].As[TagsColumn]()

if Document.Properties["TestSumResult"] == "PASS_NUMBER":

selectRows = IndexSet(table.RowCount, True)

myTagColumn.Tag("Good", markedRowSelection )

else:

selectRows = IndexSet(table.RowCount, True)

myTagColumn.Tag("NotGood", markedRowSelection )

MultiList document propert is a List, so you can try to use the following code instead

if Document.Properties["TestSumResult"][0] == "PASS_NUMBER":As there are only two values in the list box and based on your code the user is allowed to select only one value, in this case wouldn't be better to use just a list box instead of multiselect

Thanks, Shandilya, adding in "[0]" worked!

 

Also changing the document property to a List Box and without the "[0]" also worked.

 

But how could you tell that the document property was a multiselect
