Help with IF function

[twdant]

I understand how to use the IF function, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to produce the required TRUE value for the first IF argument.

I need a formula that will return a TRUE value if the COPY attribute of a repeating subcomponent is equal to a certain number. Is there a function that will give me a TRUE value if two attributes are equivalent?

So for an attribute named "Value"

Value: =IF(COPY = 2, TRUE, FALSE)

will return TRUE if COPY i equal to 2 and FALSE otherwise. Have I misunderstood the question?

There is no == double-equal comparison operator in Dynamic Components. It is just =

Wrong answer :

%(#999999)[Maybee it should be (?):
Value=IF(COPY == 2, TRUE, FALSE)
But this will also work (shorter=better?) :
Value=(COPY == 2)]

Correction : this is for ruby, not for dynamic components

Wrong answer :
value1==value2 will return TRUE or FALSE

Correction : this was for ruby, not for dynamic components
