I don't see any other messages in this thread other than your initial one and my response, perhaps the listserv hasn't relayed it to me yet.
I switch between ExecIf/GotoIf/GosubIf and the IF function as needed in my dialplan design, if It's just a one liner I'll usually use either the IF function or the ExecIf, When I need to handle multiple different lines I either Gosub to a different context to handle things and return or use a priority label in the same context. I've not run into any problem with colons in my IF statements but I don't think that's something I've had to work with/around before. Shoot, I must have erased the colon when I was trying to fix the parentheses. It seems like these days everyone wants to use ARI, You could always send the call into Stasis and handle your logic in a language of your choice but that's a whole different discussion.
