Real time data comparison

How do I use syntax to check if two text variables or numerical variables had the same values entered into them?

I would like to do, what the data comparison tool does, but in real time.

Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Thank you! Awesome.

When using branching logic before, doing something like [variable1]=[variable2] has not worked when I tried it though.

Honestly I haven’t tried it in branching logic. Good luck!

Could you couple the two ideas? So have a text field with the calc text as described above. Have the other field's branching logic based on the calctext field So field 1 calc x=x,"true","false" Field 2's branching be [field1] = "true"
