The UiPath Switch Activity defaults to the int32 data type, so you can easily add case statements based on a whole number, integer value. But if you attempt do use a String as the expression, the activity fails.
So how do you create a String switch activity in UiPath Studio?
While the expression type for a UiPath switch activity defaults to int32, not String, it can be easily changed by opening the Properties tab in UiPath Studio and clicking the drop-down box associated with the TypeArgument attribute.
In the UiPath Switch's TypeArgument field, you can set the expression type to String, Object, DataTable, Array of [T] and any other data type you can access through the Browse for Types wizard.
One interesting aspect of the case statements in a UiPath String switch is the fact that the matching field does not need to be in double quotes. Every other place you reference a String in UiPath, it must be in double quotes. The UiPath string switch activity seems to be one of the few places where the double-quotes requirement disappears. In fact, if you add double quotes, it likely won't work as intended.
