How to run multiple keywords in the if condition

[din...@139.com]

When ${a} == True, perform keyword1, keyword2, when ${a} == True keyword3, keyword4.

How to implement??

not very polite but what about building a keyword that return the keyword you need to execute in every case:

${result} Evaluate "whatever"

${status} ${value} Run Keyword And Ignore Error Should Be Equal As Integers ${result} 0

Return From Keyword If '${status}' == 'PASS' "keyword1"

${status} ${value} Run Keyword And Ignore Error Should Be Equal As Integers ${result} 1

Return From Keyword If '${status}' == 'PASS' "keyword2"

${status} ${value} Run Keyword And Ignore Error Should Be Equal As Integers ${result} 2

Return From Keyword If '${status}' == 'PASS' "keyword3"

${status} ${value} Run Keyword And Ignore Error Should Be Equal As Integers ${result} 3

Return From Keyword If '${status}' == 'PASS' "keyword4"

All you have to do is recover keyword name and run it like

Run Keyword And Continue On Failure ${Keywordrecovered}

I was talking about my solution. 

Is not polite cause could be expensive in time and resources but it works fine :)

Another option would be to create a custom keyword that wraps up all of your subsequent tasks.

So 

When ${a} == True, perform keyword1, keyword2, when ${a} == True keyword3, keyword4.

Becomes

*** Settings ***
Resource    /path/to/keyword1
Resource    /path/to/keyword2
Resource    /path/to/a

*** Keywords ***
Custom Keyword From If
    [Documentation]    Left to the user to extrapolate keyword3 & keyword4
    keyword1
    keyword2

*** Test Cases ***
Test Custom Keyword From If
    Run Keyword If    '${a}'=='True'    Custom Keyword From If

This is especially useful when you're looking to do bulk actions off one condition I find.

You can use "run keywords"

run keyword if    ${a} == True    run keywords

    ...    keyword 1

    ...    AND    keyword 2

    ...    AND    keyword 3

    ...    AND    keyword 4

Though, it might be better to create a new keyword that has those other keywords so that you only have to call one keyword.

In such case, if keyword 1 returns a value and I need to use it in keyword 2, can you I do that? Please help.

The only option to pass values between keywords is to use global/suite/test variable, but it sounds as very bad practise.

I might be misunderstanding what is being asked...

Run Keywords is what one uses to execute a number of other KWs as Bryan pointed out above.  But if one KW returns a value another KW needs than  as others pointed out another KW should be called and not use Run Keywords.

...

| | run keyword if | ${a} == True | someTaskKW |

...

someTaskKW
| | ${some data}= | keyword1 |
| | keyword2  | ${some data} |
| | keyword 3 |
| | keyword 4 |

Passing values between KWs is fairly common.

Example from my code:

Set Text Param

| | [Documentation] | Only set a text type param on a page already open. Save Parm is not called |

| | [Arguments] | ${page name} | ${param name} | ${value} |

| | ${param id}= | Toucan Input Field Name To ID | ${page name} | ${param name} |

| | Wait Until Element Is Visible | id=${param id} | timeout=${TIMEOUT} |

| | Input Text | id=${param id} | ${value} |
