any(group, testValue)

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 group designator including a find() query.

testValue may be any valid query expression, but will usually be a reference to an attribute; short form Boolean attribute expressions are acceptable.

The overall testValue must not be enclosed in quotes, though a literal string value within the query will need to be quoted. For example:

any(children,$Status=="Important")

any(children,$Overdue==true)

any(children,$Overdue) (using short form test)

any(children,$Overdue==false)

any(children,!$Overdue) (using short form test)

If trying to resolve contains() for multiple matches, use any(children,$Name=="string"). Thus of it is desired for an agent to list the parent containers of all notes titled 'foo', the agent query would be:

any(children,$Name=="foo")

If agents are present, it may be sensible to filter for aliases:

any(children,$Name=="foo") & !$IsAlias
