Help!

Anyone know how to do a not equal to in a situation like this?

Thanks!

Code
<j:if test="${jvar_sc_request.approval != 'requested'}">               <g:inline template="item_workflow.xml" />             </j:if>

Hi James,

Your syntax is correct and you should be able to use a != in that jelly. I would make sure that jvar_sc_request is an object and not just a sys_id and that it has an approval property.

Thanks Brad, that's exactly what it was.

I was using jvar_sc_request but it didn't exist in that context, at least not in the form I expected.

I changed it to the below and got it working.

Cheers,
