Show condition to evaluate Text String containing : and =

Dear Community,

I am using a Show Shape Data Field on a certain shape to evaluate the contents of a saved session variable.  If the variable equals a certain value, the shape should be shown.

The variable contains the following text: “Property:Service Tenant=VFCZ” and with that value the Show does not work as expected (the shape is never shown).  The root cause is likely the presence of the colon “:” in the text string to be evaluated because when I remove the : the show condition does work as expected.

Is there a way to make the show conditions work with that string?  Do I need an additional separator statement?  If so where exactly?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

‘Property:’ is a placeholder used in the conditional shape manipulation .

You can use a Regex expression as alternative: Regex=.*VFCZ.*
