Splunk Search

help with CASE needed

I have the following example:

|makeresults | eval trigger=0|eval decision=case(trigger=1;[|savedsearch test|eval t=1|return $t];0)

producing an error:
Error in 'eval' command: The expression is malformed. Expected )

The intention is clear, I want to execute the savedsearch test under the condition of trigger=1.
Could you please advice what it throws an error?

Kind Regards,
Kamil

Sure.
I changed it to if, also there should be == instead of =

|makeresults | eval trigger=0|eval decision=if(trigger==1,[|savedsearch test|eval t=1|return $t],0)
