Validation always says "false"

Question

I wrote the following validation to ensure the characteristic “Description” has the phrase “created by”. However, it alway returns “False” - even if it should return “true”. HELP!!

rule {
given {
description = attributes.‘description’ }
then {
isTrue(contains (description, ‘created by’))
}
}

Hey Scott,

I think attributes.‘description’ will give you a collection, won’t it?

Making an assumption that you only want to check the first description attribute, you would want to do something like
description = attributes.'description'?.first()

Umit, Thanks for the idea, but it still returns false all of the time. Scott

You are missing the ‘then’ clause. Please Try

rule {
given {
description = attributes.‘description’ }
when {
contains(description,‘created by’)
}
then
{isTrue(contains(description,‘created by’))
}
}
