Can't single out one item in a Column for Automation

Fairly new to Coda/Superhuman so I’m not quite sure how to word everything, apologies in advance.

I’m trying to create an automation that notifies a writer assigned to a project when the release date changes. Currently our cards are set up to where some days there is only 1 project that is being released, some days there are up to 8. Not every project in the card group has the same person assigned to it, and I’m making this automation for 1 person.

This is the formula that I’m currently using, however it only notifies the writer of the release date change when the card only includes one project that is assigned to them (or I’m assuming if there were multiple items, if all projects were assigned to them). It doesn’t work if there are several projects that they aren’t assigned to all of them.

In this second situation with multiple projects where there are multiple writers for the various projects, the person I am trying to notify does not receive any message. I know there’s probably a way to tweak the formula to say if there are ANY projects in the group that they are assigned to, to notify them of the changes to those specific projects, but I’m unknowledgeable of how to do that and Googling/browsing the community has not provided any answers as of yet.

Again, apologies for the extensive and lingo-less question, I am still getting familiar with the site and how everything works. Thanks!

Hi!

Have you tried using contains() instead of = ?

I did when I originally was trying to adjust it last night, but after messing around with it today it looks like I was formatting it incorrectly. That seemed to do the job, thank you!!
