Conditional blocks allow you to show or hide sections of the document according to conditional expressions.
A conditional block consists of a part of a document with the following notation:
#{if (%{<Javascript>})}
CONTENT
#{end}
<Javascript> is a javascript expression that should evaluate to true or false.
The code below demonstrates a working example.
This is the header of the document.
#{if (%{'${IssueTypeName}'.equals('Bug')})}
This section will only be visible if the issue type of the issue is Bug
This issue is a bug created by ${AssigneeUserName} with priority ${Priority}.
#{end}
#{if (%{'${Priority}'.equals('Major')})}
This section will only be visible if the priority of the issue is major.
This issue has top priority, needs to be resolved until ${DueDate}.
#{end}
#{if (%{'${escape:Description}'.equals('')})}
This issue has no description
#{end}
#{if (%{'${escape:Description}'.length > 0})}
Issue description: ${Description}
#{end}
This is the footer of the document.
For a working example of this functionality, check the template Sample Conditions.docx in the Template Store.
