  • 1.  Jinja to compare values of fields in two different tables

    Posted 01-30-2023 10:25
    I have a Pipeline that when a record is created or updated in a table, I need to search a second table to find the Project Code that matches from the created record, then update a field in the second table with some values. The key is matching the Project Code field between the two tables before updating a field value. 
    PIPELINE:
    On New Event Table 1: Record is created or updated (captures Project Code)
    Search Table 2: Search for Project Code that matches Project Code in Table 1
        Update the Portfolio field in table 2 with specified value.

    I have been unable to figure out the Jinja code in the Search step to compare the Project Codes between the tables. Any help is appreciated!

    Amy,

    You can find the record you need with out Jinja.   Assuming that the two fields are

    [Code in Table One]  Field ID 10
    [Code in Table Two]  Field ID 20

    In the Advanced Query of your Search Step on Table Two you would put

    {20.EX.'{{a.code_in_table_one}}'}

    This is the Quickbase Query not Jinja.  You can read more here:
