Wanting to set the value of an identity attribute to Yes based on some criteria that needs to be met. For instance a job code equals a job code in a list or a job code equals a job code in a list and a certain location

You can use a transform of type `static` and include the logic to check the values.  
(`"value": "#if($workerType=='Employee')Full-Time#{else}Contingent#end"`)

Hi David,

You can use Lookup transform to define your available jobcode as a list and return a value based on your requirement.

Then another static transform to pull location value.

> Return a fixed string value.

Then use the velocity code accordingly to set the value of identity attribute based on your requirement. This example shows how you can leverage velocity code and how you can use variables.

Thanks.
