Business Condition: Attribute Value Comparison

Compares the value of one attribute on the current node with a constant or the value of another attribute on the current node.

Numeric comparison is used when both values are number based (fractions, integers and numbers). Otherwise, alphanumeric comparison is used, except for dates (date, ISO date and time).

When numerical values are compared with units, the system attempts to convert the values to base units.

Multivalued attributes and attributes of the validation base type Embedded Number are not supported.

The following are examples of the Attribute Value Comparison condition and the results:

15-jun-2015 (date attribute value) < 15-jul-2015 (constant) = true
15-jun-2015 (text attribute value) < 15-jul-2015 (constant) = false
15-jun-2015 (date attribute value) < 2015-07-15 (ISO date attribute value) = true
80 cm (number attribute value) < 1 (constant) = true (base unit is m)
80 cm (number attribute value) < 1 cm (constant) = false
a (text attribute value) > 1 (number attribute value) = false
