Need "Contains only" option for multi-select fields in Rules

Hi guys,

I have the same need. I’ve been struggling with the multiple select custom fields conditions because we only have “Contains All or Any” options. Will be great to have “Is” or “Contain Only”. Not having this conditional options made me move from Multiple Select custom field to Single Select and combine the options my self. Below I share an example why this fails when the rules evaluate the fields content.

Multiple Select Custom Field Options:

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

Rule 1
When Multiple Select Custom Field Contains All

  • Option A
    Add Sub Task 1

Rule 2
When Multiple Select Custom Field Contains All

  • Option A and Option B
    Add Sub Task 2

Both rules executes when the custom field has Option A but here is the difference between what we need.

Rule 1
When Multiple Select Custom Field Contains All

  • Option A
    Add Sub Task 1

Rule 2
When Multiple Select Custom Field IS or CONTAINS ONLY

  • Option A and Option B
    Add Sub Task 2

Only the on of the rules will run when only when the selected options are the same evaluated in every condition. Rule 2 will will only run when both options are selected. And Rule 1 will not run unless I only select Option A.

Hope I make my self clear and that we can have this available.

Best regards,

JRM
