The if parameter works differently in list and search functions, than any
other function. In most functions, the value is processed as based on the
current page and determines whether or not the process is called.
In list and search, the if function is run on each item in the report to
determine whether or not it is included in the report. You can use
{+field}, {+value}, {+p}, {+p0}, {+title}, etc. Normal vars (like {p} and
the rest are processed before the function is ever called and refer to the
page you are on. So you can do if='equal {+p2} {p2}' and it will work as
expected.
In my tests, seems to be working. If something isn't, just let me know--I
can look into it a bit more. But as you have already discovered, there's
often more than one way to do things in BoltWire. :)
Cheers,
Dan
