Switch
executes boolean clauses
Facilitates conditional branching and decision-making within flows based on specified conditions. It allows users to define conditional expressions or predicates to evaluate data or flow state, directing flow execution along different paths accordingly. The switch node enables users to implement dynamic and adaptive flow by branching based on runtime conditions.
The main difference between switch and if node is the ability to create multiple routes.
Properties

input Text
must consist of letters (A-Z or a-z), digits (0-9), underscores (_), or dollar signs ($). However, a class name cannot start with a digit and dollar sign ($)
Unique per flow
Mandatory
Min length: 1
Max length: 255
Description - provides a textual description or additional information about a node within a flow. Unlike the name property, which serves as a unique identifier or label for the node, the description property offers supplementary details that help to clarify the purpose, functionality, or behavior of the node.

Specific
Condition - a condition that will determine the further progress of the flow. Unlike IF, there can be several branches here, further execution will follow the first branch that meets the specified condition. The Expression Editor is used to add and edit conditions. There can be any number of label-condition blocks, depending on the requirements.
