Hi, I have a Switch activity and require substring to be recognised and that branch taken: 

ie: $value5.result.includes()

this throws error (is expecting a substring ?)

thanks

  Hi Vincent,

  It seems that the `includes()` function is not getting a string argument. Can you check the parameter and make sure it's a string?

  Thanks for your message Rafael.

  I can confirm its a string and coming from Create Value activity.

  But how a range of substring gets identified from it and then branched from the Switch activity?

  thanks

  Hi Vincent,

  It's hard to say exactly what's going on without seeing the workflow. Can you submit a help ticket and send the workflow JSON (File > Export) as an attachment?

  Thanks,

  Rafael

  Won't the .includes() return a boolean (true/false) and in this case can't be used in a Switch Activity?

  The Switch activity can accept Boolean values: see Inputs.

  Do'h - Ignore me!  I've only used it for string inputs/outputs and have used the IF activity for the boolean outputs.

  Understandable! I wasn't sure about this myself until I checked. I don't use Switch for boolean values either.
