Ability to Use Tokens in Choice Step Change Data Value

Ability to Use Tokens in Choice Step Change Data Value

Hi,

Recently, we ran into a use case scenerio where we needed to update a field based on the value in another field in Marketo. We attempted to use the "Change Data Value" flow action to compare the fields and make the change as shown below:

Choice 1: If 'UNICODE First Name' is not '{{lead.First Name}}' then:
Attribute: 'UNICODE 
First Name'
New Value: '{{lead.
First Name}}'

The goal was to make sure the UNICODE First Name field always has the same value as the {{Lead. First Name}} field. Our thinking was the Choice Step would be able to evaluate a token value, but that is not the case.  We solved our problem by excluding the Choice Step: 



Attribute: 'UNICODE First Name'
New Value: '{{lead.
First Name}}'


We would like to request the "Ability to Use Tokens in Choice Step (Change Data Value)"  as we think it might be useful feature when you need to compare field values before making a data value change to a field in Marketo.

Thanks..

Tokens can be used for Change Data Value.  Using as filters is an open Idea
