I am currently working on an app and I was wondering how (or even if) I can make an “if”-Statement based on variables within an array, without first having to transfer the index to a separate variable.
Yes, you can use the “ARRAYCONTAINS()” function in the Expression Editor to see if an array contains the value of a specific variable. Let’s imagine that you have an array of text values, and you want to see if one of them contains the value in a text variable.

Hi.
Yesterday I tried also with fixed array like ARRAYCONTAINS([‘1’,‘2’,‘3’], ‘1’) and got same error. I tried again just now and code is accepted. Below you can see that variable arraySelectedParents is indeed array.
Interesting.
Thank you,
