Cleanest way to simplify UI Action conditions

[Michael McNulty]

Hello, 

I'm trying to build a condition for a UI Action that essentially says "if the RITM state is not closed skipped, closed complete, or closed incomplete" show this UI Action. 

Below is the only way I can think of doing it (that actually works):
current.state != 3 && current.state != 4 && current.state != 7

What I want to do (which doesn't work) is:
(current.state != 3, 4, 7)

What I've tried (Which didn't work):
(current.state != 3 || 4 || 7)

(current.state != 3, 4, 7)

Obviously there's no huge benefit to this beyond cleaning up the code a bit, but I'm just curious if anyone out there has found a way to do this cleaner than adding a bunch of && conditions like this.

Thanks in advance to anyone that contributes!

I did a little searching on this. What I'm finding is this is not going to be possible. If conditions are longer/more complex, using a Script Include to validate is a better option.

Hi @Michael McNulty ,

From the conditions, I can see that we only display the button when RITM is Active. So you can simplify the condition as.

current.active;

Also, we can define a function in a script include and call in the Condition box.

Sample:

new CatalogUtils().isVisible(current.getValue('state'));

isVisible: function(state){
	return state !== '3' && state !== '4' && state !== '7';
},

You can also try some other ways around like

"3,4,7".indexOf(current.state) == -1;

Let me know if it works for you.
