1. In the data editor, I have a rollup field with “Units” set.
2. I create another IF-\>Then Field. where I want to handle three cases:  
a. if the count is 0 then keep the field empty  
b. if the count is 1 then write “1 Unit”  
c. if the count is more than 1 use the rollup field with the units.

the bug is that in this case the Units isn’t passed to the If=\>then field, and I’m left with only a number.

When I create the IF-\>then field I can see that the units are passed, until I add the condition to handle count=1 (2b in the list above). When I add this condition I only see the number without the unit name.

yeah, this is a known issue. Been there forever. I’d love to see this one fixed.  
The same happens with display formatting.

Workaround is to add a math column _after_ the if-then-else, and then re-apply your formatting and/or units.

Yea, Workaround is easy, It’s just that I have enough fields as it is - I’m reporting it hoping for a fix.
