I have been using 'otherwise' to capture the records that don't meet the criteria in a transformer for so many years. Just today found out that some records that should meet the requirement are being captured by 'otherwise' link on a Transformer. I displayed every single criteria in the output files...

Is there a way to figure out if a field is equal to a value in a set using transformer constraints? What I am trying to do is to avoid doing Link.Field = 1 or Link.Field = 2 or Link.Field = 3 but write something like Link.field in (1,2,3) I couldn't find a way to do this in the constraints pull down...
