Hi NickMitricka
I haven't used Smart Assertions myself - but it launches the Message Content Assertion assertion that was available in earlier versions of ReadyAPI! and I looked at trying to use this a while back.
Someone that knows the functionality better than I might have a different opinion, but I believe it doesn't support what you need it to do if I understand correctly. Essentially you're saying the sequence of the type = home or type = work isn't constant - you know you'll get both in your response - but the sequence isn't fixed.
The problem I believe is that the Message Content Assertion assertion uses XPATH or JSONPATH (depending on the type of the response) to verify a certain attribute displays a certain value.
The 'Validation' column in the Message Content Assertion form doesn't provide any values that supports what you need.
As I say - someone who knows the functionality better might have a different opinion - but looking at it - I dont think so
nmrao showed me a couple of script assertions to handle what you want - but that doesn't help you I'm afraid

I understand - I was just highlighting that I think this is unachievable with the Message Content Assertion assertion
