General tools

General tools in PalDock provide reusable building blocks for working with field values across different parts of the system. They define how values are evaluated, transformed, or filtered and are consistently available in:

Table filters – to display only rows that match specific conditions.
Cascade filters – to control flow logic depending on field values.
Modify Field – to transform values before they are stored or sent to an integration.

Condition Operators

Operators describe the logic for comparing a field value against one or two reference values.

Most operators require a Value input.
Some require two values (Value and Value2) for ranges.
When used in Modify Field, operators determine when the transformation is applied.

Field Value

The Value field is not limited to a single string. It supports:

Single values – e.g. approved.
Multiple options – using regular expressions (e.g. approved|rejected).
Regex features – alternatives (|), wildcards (*), and other standard expressions.

This flexibility reduces the number of separate Modify Field rules or Connection Creator responses you need to maintain.

Modify Field

The Modify Field element allows you to transform one or more field values before they are saved or passed downstream. It works the same way whether used in Structures, Integrations, or Tracking.
