    OK - not sure why I am bread dead on this one. I think I've been staring at it and just not seeing it for some reason. 

    Trying to do a simple variable assignment based upon an if expression:

    If A = 1 then B = 2 else B = 3

    I know I've done this without having to add a function in pflow.js - but for whatever reason every syntax I try is failing. In my example, A,B and C are all string variables.

      George,

      Well, you can do this the long way by having a Branch node with Assign nodes after them or you can put the statement in one Assign node with JavaScript added.

        You could copy a working IF statement from the delivered Employee Address change flow EMSSAddrEmail.xml - the AssignEmailVariables node has one.

          In the Assign node (assuming that A, B, and C are actually strings) 

          if (A=="1")
{B="2";}
else
{B="3";}

            Not sure this will upload correctly, but here is an example:
            if (nFTE == 1)
            {
            sFTE = "FTE IS ONE";
            }
            else
            {
            sFTE = "FTE LESS THAN ONE";
            }

              Also in the assign node.

              B= (A == "1")? "2" : "3"

                David - thanks! That was the syntax I was looking for. However - to others above - I have been trying the standard "If" syntax just as a java expression. The problem I'm having is that it is NOT setting the value of the variable I'm trying to assign in expression - but rather it returns "Result is true" or "Result is false" and not the value I'm trying to set. The variables are all string - no boolean.

                I'll see if I can get a copy of the employee sample to compare....
