    IMO, writing

    Text.Contains([WorkOrderNumber], "PAT") = true

    is a bit redundant.

    It doesn't hurt anything and occasionally this sort of redundancy makes code easier to read but sometimes redundancy is less readable. Personally, I'd drop all of the " = true" in this particular case but don't take that as more than an aesthetic preference.
