How to use
Often used in "Condition".
It is frequently used among the "value" in "Initialize variable" or "Set variable" of Type "Boolean".
Click on the "Expressions" tab, equals, and the function name and () will be set in the formula field.

Click on the purple icon to change the function.
As in the example equals('123', '123'),
The result of equals is True because the two arguments have the same value.
If the two arguments are different, the result is False.
Set this function (or variable) to the left of the "Condition", "is equal to" in the middle, and "true" on the right.
Then the behavior is true for "If yes" and false for "If no".
Different data types can be compared, though,
False in cases such as '123' and 123.
In the case of arrays, False is returned if the items are not the same, including their order.
| object1 | object2 | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 123 | 123 | True |
| 123 | '123' | False |
| '123' | '123' | True |
| [1,2,3] | [1,2,3] | True |
| [1,3,2] | [1,2,3] | False |
