Q. Can we use more complex criteria for "Expected Value"

A. Out of the box, the answer is NO.


But, as a 1 off, we could enhance your "Expected Value" Matching. But there will be a cost, as we'd have to set up a small project to understand exactly what you want, then use our development team to deploy your requirements.


Customization Required - To enable this required additional cost. We initiate a project to deliver this per client request. 


Overview:


Our customization could introduce greater/less than comparisons for numeric fields and the ability to list multiple acceptable values for Picklist and Text fields.


Examples:

  1. Comparison Operators (=><>=<=) for Numeric Fields

    • Works only for Number, Currency, and Percent fields.
    • Users can specify a range of acceptable values.
    • Example: "Lead Score > 75" → Any value greater than 75 will mark the field as complete.
  2. Multiple Expected Values for Picklist & Text Fields (IN Operator)

    • Instead of just one anticipated value, users can enter a list of values (comma-separated).
    • If the Key Field’s value matches any of them, the field is complete.
    • Example: "Approval Status = Approved, Pending, On Hold" → Any of these will mark the field as complete.

How It Would Work:

  1. Select a Key Field – Choose any field type.
  2. Select an Operator (=><>=<=IN):
    • If the field is Number, Currency, or Percent, users can select ><>=, or <=.
    • If the field is Text or Picklist, users can select IN and enter multiple values.
  3. Define the Expected Value(s):
    • Single value for =><>=<=.
    • Multiple values (comma-separated) for IN.
  4. Completion Check:
    • If the field matches the criteria, the milestone is Completed (✅).
    • Otherwise, it remains Incomplete (❌).


Example Scenarios (Enhanced Version):

Key Field TypeOperatorExpected ValueKey Field ValueCompletion Status
Picklist="Qualified""Qualified"✅ (Completed)
Picklist="Qualified""New"❌ (Not Completed)
PicklistIN"Approved, Pending, On Hold""Pending"✅ (Completed)
PicklistIN"Approved, Pending, On Hold""Rejected"❌ (Not Completed)
TextIN"A, B, C""B"✅ (Completed)
TextIN"A, B, C""D"❌ (Not Completed)
Number>"75""80"✅ (Completed)
Number<"100""50"✅ (Completed)
Number>="100""100"✅ (Completed)
Number<="500""600"❌ (Not Completed)

Important Notes:

  • Greater/Less Than Comparisons (><>=<=) are ONLY available for Number, Currency, and Percent fields.
  • For Picklist and Text fields, use IN to specify multiple accepted values.
  • Existing exact match functionality (=) remains unchanged.
