Multi-Field Formula Tool

The Multi-Field Formula tool creates or updates multiple fields using a single expression.

Configure the tool

1. In the Configuration window, select a data type in Select Fields.
2. Select the fields to apply the formula to. Only the fields that are of the specified data type will display.
3. Select Copy Output Fields and Add and select Prefix or Suffix to create new columns for the data. Uncheck the check box to update the data in the original columns.
4. Select a data type in Change Output Type to to change the data type of the values in the column.
5. Build an expression either by typing directly in the expression editor or by double-clicking a variable or function to add it to the expression editor. See Expression Editor.
Variables
• _CurrentField_: Uses the selected field in the function.
• _CurrentFieldName_: Uses the name of the selected field in the function.
• _CurrentFieldType_: Uses the data type of the selected field in the function.

Because this tool includes an expression editor, an additional input anchor displays when the tool is used in an app or macro workflow. Use the Interface tools to connect to a Question anchor. See Interface Tools.
