min(list)
The min() operator returns the largest item in a List or Set data type attribute. Prior to v5.6.0, this operator required Set data.
Both the operators max() and min() use lexical comparison in most cases, but numeric comparison if the context is numeric, e.g.:
$Width=min("100;2;70")
Since "Width" is numeric, min() will be return 2.
$Name=min("100;2;70")
Since the attrbute "Name" is a string, mix() will return 100.
If you don't have a set, create one on the fly:
$MyMin = min(collect_if(all,$MyNum>0,$MyNum))
$MyMin = min(collect(descendants,$Modified))
This allows export via ^value^:
^value(min(collect(descendants,$Modified)))^
When using Date-type data bear in mind that the unset Date default is "never" and that "never' is always before (i.e. less than) any set date. So to use min() with dates, filter out the unset values:
$MyMin = min(collect_if(descendants,($Modified!="never"),$Modified))
