    I only come here when I need something :)

    Hi Brendan: has anyone else ever asked for conditional record import? I searched the forums but couldn’t find it.

    I have a PayPal invoice download that includes a line for the invoices themselves but also the items that comprise the invoice. I’d like to use a column as a switch, like Invoice? Yes/No and only the items set to yes would be imported. Then, I could import the Invoices into the relevant form, then flip the switch to import the individual items into my sales forms.

    Of course, because you added the most awesome feature of all time, I just use the Invoice field as my Join.

    Like truly, Brendan, coolest feature of all time!!! No hyperbole!!!!

    Heheh… I’m glad you’re enjoying the new Join Link Type function!

    I’ve never had a request for conditional imports before. Generally that would be solved outside of Tap Forms where the file would be split into different kinds of records and imported separately.

    Yeah, to separate the records is more work than I would like because of a quirk of Numbers. I’ll continue on as-is. Thanks for the response.
