Hi all,

This is a beginner questions on Formatting Rules in Nintex Forms. How can I write a rule so that when a drop down choice 'Location' is chosen it formats my SendTo variable to a  SpecificEmail@work.com?

So far I have

Location=='Athens' || Location == 'Colbert'

but how do I format SendTo =Me@work.com?

Thanks,

Dean

Where are you using the sendto? Can you sort this in the workflow itself?

you would need custom JavaScript to do this on the form. Can you use ‌'s suggestion?

I don't why you want to format a  variable , if you want to assign a value , you can use calculated value control instead of a variable.

That is the solution I was reaching for, Sojan. I need to be using a calculated value control and not trying to format using rules. I was trying to hammer in a screw - it can be made to work with java but it certainly wouldn't be pretty. Thanks everyone.
