Line 12, can be done without the extra inlist? |
Yes, it can be done but it is complicated and probably slower. It would be some combination of list_intersection and list_count. It could be done as a python template used as a function, something like
Code:
check_inlist_field(field, values required, values_not_allowed)
but I don't see a pressing need here.
You should use "inlist_field '#subjects'" instead of "inlist subjects".
I also suggest you use parentheses on line 12 to avoid any possibility of operator precidence being what you don't want. Example:
Code:
if ('^(Fantasy|Paranormal|Science Fiction)$' inlist_field '#subjects') && (!('Star Trek' inlist_field '#subjects')) then 'Fantasy & Sci-Fi,' fi,
