Comala Workflow: labeladded condition, NOT label

[Marya Belanger]

Wondering if there's any way to say "do this when a label is added unless it's one of these labels: ..... "

Let's say I want to {set-message} when a label is added, unless it's label1, label2, or label3.

So I created a workflow parameter, @Excluded Labels@, that is pre-set to label1,label2,label3.

I've tried:

{trigger:labeladded | label =! @Excluded Labels@}

    {set-message}

    @label@ was added

    {set-message}

{trigger}

But that gives an error when I try to save, that ! can't be in a label name. I've also tried !"@Excluded Labels@" but same error.

I also tried:

{trigger:labeladded | @label@ =! @Excluded Labels@}

    {set-message}

    @label@ was added

    {set-message}

{trigger}

Trying to compare the value reference of the added label instead. That doesn't give an error but it seems to actually set @label@ equal to the values of @Excluded Labels@.

There must be some negation operator for the label field?

Hello @Marya Belanger 

You can use the haslabel condition with the labeladded trigger, however this condition does not accept workflow parameters so you will need to specify the labels. For example:

{workflow:name=Example Workflow}
    {state:In Progress}
    {state}
    {state:Approved}
    {state}
    {trigger:labeladded|haslabel=apple,bacon,cheese}
        {set-message}
             the listed label - @label@ - was added
        {set-message}
    {trigger}
    {trigger:labeladded|haslabel=!apple,bacon,cheese}
        {set-message}
            @label@ was added, it is not listed
        {set-message}
    {trigger}
{workflow}
