IF ... ELSE IF not working as expected

lueu

Hi!
On a rule made a while ago I used IF ... ELSE IF.. to do the same om several attributes, and this worked. Now I am making a rule to do something else, but this time the IF ... ELSE IF doesn't seem to work. It works on the first IF, but not on the ELSE IFs. What seems extra strange is that the columns in the database that doesn't get 99:99 as I want them to don't become NULL either, just empty? IF Mandag_TilKl was NULL, Mandag_TilTid would be NULL before trying this rule. If Mandag_TilKl now is changed and is NULL, Mandag_TilKl is empty... (see picture attached)

Any tips?

Rule:
IF BeredskapVaktRessurs.Mandag_FraKl IS UNDEFINED THEN BeredskapVaktRessurs.Mandag_FraTid = '99:99'
ELSE IF BeredskapVaktRessurs.Mandag_TilKl IS UNDEFINED THEN BeredskapVaktRessurs.Mandag_TilTid = '99:99' (and so on..)

Ifs works in strange ways sometimes so try breaking them up in separate rules instead. I don't know why this happens but could possibly be that the ifs look at different attributes so the first rule looks at the FraKl and the second TilKl etc. (I have seen similar behavior before when I used ifs and different attributes so nowadays I almost always break the ifs into a lot of single ones instead of doing complex multi/different attribute ones and I never see these types of issues any longer).

Agree with hpl123.

Thanks, I actually tested to put one line in a separate rule, and that seems to work. So I'll just have to do that for the rest too, then. 14 rules to cover one action :roll: :lol:
