Hi,

How to use compare string operator to check mutiple values. (REHIRE or HIRE\_ADD\_WORK\_RELATION)

Value 1 : $.getIdentity.attributes.actionCode

Equals

Value 2 : |REHIRE|HIRE\_ADD\_WORK\_RELATION|

Hi @Manju22,

You could use contains rather than equals or you could add multiple compare string action and then do a equal check.
