any(group, value)

A Boolean operator examines a group of notes and determines whether any note in the group meets a criterion.

group describes the notes to be examined and may be any of {children,descendants,siblings,ancestors,all}.

value may be any valid expression, but will usually be a reference to an attribute; short form Boolean attribute expressions are acceptable. From v5.10.2, value must not be enclosed in quotes.

For example:

any(children,$Status=="Important") 

any(children,$Overdue==true) 

any(children,$Overdue) 

any(children,$Overdue==false) 

any(children,!$Overdue)
