Easiest way to "If...Then" when creating a new Resource Management project using Bridge

Options

I'm working on my very first workflow to create a new project in Resource Management each time a new row is added to the master Smartsheet project sheet. So far, the mapping is pretty easy. However, I have a couple of fields where my end user has said, "If the cell in Smartsheet has "X", put a "Y" in a related Resource Management project field. Otherwise, put a "Z" in the Resource Management field".

What's the easiest way to solve for this? I don't want to use a Conditional Junction as it seems like then I would need to duplicate my RM: Create Project integration with nearly identical settings (other than my condition). Ideally, I'd like to have one RM: Create Project integration and be able to conditionally populate the one field that could vary based on the value of the cell coming from Smartsheet.

    Hey @ryanparmenter

    If possible, build a helper column in smartsheet and run the IF/then from there. Then map that helper column instead of the original column in your Bridge/RM integration. The community could help you with the IF/THEN formula, if you need assistance.

    Would that work for you?

    That should work, Kelly. I'll talk with my end user tomorrow about adding the placeholder column in the source sheet.

    Thanks!!
