Hi developers

I am using the workflow template “Update and Certify Access When an Identity Changes Department” and in the operator section: compare strings it compares the new value of the attribute that is changing against the name of a specific department. Can it be indicated that it is not a specific value but that it can be changing to any value? For example, by placing a wildcard (\*)

I hope you can guide me  
Regards

Hi @jacob_islas,

Welcome to the community.

If you want to take action when the department value changes to any value, you can just delete the compare operator.

Since the Identity attribute changed trigger has a filter - `$.changes[?(@.attribute == "department")]` - the workflow will get triggered when the department value changes to any value.

Your workflow would look something like this :

It’s works.  
Thanks Jesvin
