Dataview-Condition widget not working - Expression Editor

So I have a custom dataview to store parameters to filter a BAQ that I set when the window loads and that works fine. I have three parameters. I have a dataview-condition widget on the click of a button to test one of the parameters and it is not recognizing that values or the expression editor is not working.

So here I’m trying to just get the expression to result to true. The ‘123’ is just dummy data. This returns false. I’ve tried numerous variations to the syntax and nothing.
As a side note, I CAN filter based on the PackingSlip param when it has a value. I have not tried as a blank yet. So because I can filter off that, this confuses me why the LotNum param doesn’t result to true. I’ve also tried comparing a blank string with single quotes ‘’=‘’ and that results to false.

Not sure what to do at this point. Do I need to do some sort of ritual or seance to get it to work?
Seriously though, is the row-find a better widget? This is terrible, I could have done this in 5 min in the old .NET screen.

I think you want a condition action, not dataview-condition. The former evals any expression including a scalar value binding expression like {Params.LotNum} = '123' (returning simple true/fasle) while the latter iterates over all rows in a dataview and returns an array of matches for you to act upon in later actions (not simple true false)

That works, although the syntax in the expression needs to be different. Thanks!
