How to modify a token

syk19567 — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 17:14:03 GMT

Hi community,

I have a dropdown for environments like DEV/CT/PROD, and saved it into a token `SDLC`.
Now I would like to define another token `new_sdlc`. It's "ctpm" when `SDLC` is "pm"; Otherwise, it's the same value as `SDLC`.

In the end, I found a way working but a bit stupid, simply because it seems "!=" is not allowed so I have to list all conditions.

I've checked a few posts but didn't find a working and elegant way. I bet there is one. Looking forward to your help.

Here is my code:

Thank you for the response! I had a try like this (maybe not exactly the same) before posting, and it didn't work.

However, this time I pasted yours and after a slight change, it works!

Now it's like:

if(SDLC=="pm","ctpm",SDLC)

So it seems I cannot use $ and quotes. After removing them, it's good!

A problem I noticed is, the new token only gets a value when we change the origin token.

That's to say, when we opened the dashboard, although the origin token has a default value, the new token is null, thus the queries don't work. We'll see "Search is waiting for input "

What about if you set the initial value as well as the default value?
