Testing for unspecified individual (auto-text)

I was trying to test if an individual had been specified as otherwise it shows <No Name> as the output.
I assumed I could simply use =EQUALS[{KEYPERSON}%<No Name>] as a condition (actually using EQUALSNOT), but that does not appear to work as it always resolves to False regardless of whether I have specified an individual or not. So, I'm confused or doing the wrong thing.

Any guidance would be helpful.

Hi Chris

You would need to 'escape' the < and > like this:

=EQUALS[{KEYPERSON}%\<No Name\>]

Alternatively you could use this:

=EQUALS[{KEYPERSON.ID}%]

Cheers

I did wonder and tried it, but used the wrong escape slash :roll:

Thanks,
