That looks like you are trying to search for the tag "Completed" and return something. There are two problems. Firstly, the structure of the call is incorrect. The other is that you are missing a parameter. The "str_in_list" requires at least five parameters. The list to check, the divider to use, the item to search for, the result to return when it is found, and the result to return when it is not found.

What you probably want is:

{:str_in_list(field('tags'), ',' ,'Completed', 'Complete', 'Incomplete')}

But, as you mention adding "program:", I would use:

program:
str_in_list(field('tags'), ',' ,'Completed', 'Complete', 'Incomplete')

and

{contains(field('tags'),'Completed','Completed','Incomplete')}

and nothing is appearing in the generated output. I have also inserted 'program:' inside the first bracket with the same non-results.

There is a similar issue with that one. I would use something like:

program:
contains(field('tags'), 'Completed', 'Completed', 'Incomplete')

But, I would use the first "str_in_list" as to me that is more obvious as to it's intention.
