yes/no column for comments box filled?

hobnail · 02-16-2022, 05:05 PM

How can I make a column that has a check mark if the metadata's Comments box is filled in, the big box on the right in the metadata editor?

Code:

program: if $comments then 'yes' fi

If you also want x's:

Code:

program: if $comments then 'yes' else 'no' fi

Column built from other columns, show checkmarks, set sort to yes/no.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. ...

Duh, I didn't see that I already had one set up; I swear I looked. The code it uses is

Code:

program:test(field('comments'), 'Yes', '')

I just changed it to use a No instead of empty quotes for the last one.
