# contains ### Description `contains` is used to check a list of values, which is given on the left of the operator, against a single value on the right. ### Example A person can have multiple nationalities. If you want to include US tax documents if one of those nationalities is the United States, you could attach this condition to those [documents](/guides/glossary/document.md): ``` p is Person p.nationalities contains us ``` The list of nationalities of the person in this case should include `us` , meaning this condition evaluates to true and the documents to which it is attached will be included in the [case](/guides/glossary/case.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
