Re: Validation Logic in custom forms

Hello! I'm trying to set up a validation logic where a different message will appear depending on the selection made on a single-select dropdown field, DE:Series. 

 

For example, if I select value "Option 1" in the Series field, I see the following text: Select Brief for content type. However if I select "Option 2", I want to see the following text: Select Podcast for content type.

 

I'm hitting a wall as I try to program the logic. This is what I have so far, but it's not working as expected:

IF({DE:Series}=="Option 1","Select Brief for content type."||{DE:Series}=="Suite Talk", "Select Podcast for content type.")

 

Is it possible to have multiple messages for each value in the logic? TIA!

    Lyndsy,

    I tried the below example and it seemed to work for me.   This is the code I put together:

    IF({DE:Product Core}="Channels & Connectivity","Select Brief for content type.",IF({DE:Product Core}="Cross-Currency Payments","Select Podcast for content type"))

     

    This is what the users sees on the form when they are filling it out and make their selection:

     

    Basically chaining together IF statements of all your options and what message you'd like to show the user.
