It is possible use this operator with dynamic fields 'as is' only to compare strings.

Code Block

language	xml

{% if dynamicfields.name == 'alan' %} 
alan
{% elsif dynamicfields.name == 'tom' %}
tom
{% else %}
catherine
{% endif %}

In this case the check is case sensitive.

To compare numbers or data type different from string it is possible use the built in functions:

Code Block

language	xml

{% assign c1 = dynamicfields.name| evaltext: 'equalTo', 'Jennifer' %} {% if c1 == true %} Text {% endif %}

Code Block

language	xml

{% assign c1 = dynamicfields.age | evalinteger: 'equalTo', '8' %} {% if c1 == true %} Text {% endif %}

!=

Code Block

language	xml

{% if dynamicfields.name != 'alan' %}
