Using Advanced Python Calculator in QGIS Modeler

Question

I'm trying to create a column with integer values based on a small function that basically uses conditional statements. In short, a reclassification. My attempt below:

def getValue(Etat):
    if Etat == 'Bon':
        value = 1
    elif Etat == 'Moyen':
        value = 2
    elif Etat == 'Mauvais':
        value = 3
    elif Etat == 'Ruine':
        value = 4

value = getValue(<Etat>)

While I do not get any errors, the problem is that the new field is not being updated with new values. My thoughts are that it can't find the original field: "Etat", the source.

How should I go about it? Also, what I don't understand how is going to make the updates to the field, surely something is missing.

Alright, due to my lack of not paying enough attention I managed to solved the problem.

I wasn't returning the value, only making assignments.
