Combine field and match conditions

I am trying to set 2 tokens based on field and match but I think if 1st condition is matched, 2nd is not evaluated so please suggest the correct method of doing this. The following is what I tried

<condition field=field1>

<set token="clicked_field">field1</set>

</condition>


<condition match="$row.field1$==value1">

<set token="temp" >"v1 v2"</set>

</condition>

You can use one condition element for both the conditions. For second condition use eval element like this.

<drilldown>
    <condition field="field1">
        <set token="clicked_field">field1</set>
        <eval token="temp">if(match("value1", $row.field1$), "v1 v2", "")</eval>
    </condition>
</drilldown>

Thanks for your answer. I want to add some more details to my question. I have a lengthy list of possible values for $row.field1$ for which the corresponding values of temp are different. For each possible value in $row.field1$ , I want to set a corresponding value in temp. Say, if $row.field1$ is vehicle, I want my temp to be "Cycle Car" or if $row.field1$ is fruit, I want my temp to be "Apple Orange" and so on.

You can use case statement:

<eval token="temp">case(match("vehicle", $row.field1$), "Cycle Car", match("fruit", $row.field1$), "Apple Orange")</eval>

Also if you have too many values in field1 then it's better you create a csv lookup with field1 and temp values and use it in your search directly. Only thing is temp values are displayed in the results. Then set token based on row is clicked.

 <drilldown>
     <set token="temp">$row.temp$</eval>
 </drilldown>

Can you please post more of your XML? Are you trying to set some tokens based upon the result of a search, or when an input changes?
