Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I have created a certificate that I need to fill in details based on
information contained in a data file. I created the .odb file to point
to the actual file and that is working. It will fill in field values
properly. However, when I try any kind of conditional insert, such as
translating "M" or "F" to "male" or "female", or hiding text if a field
value is null, it fails.
For example, I have a conditional text function, where the function is:
Results.RESULTS.GENDER == "F"
The then part is:
female
and the else part is:
male
This always inserts "female".
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I've tried various ways to insert the conditional text, such as using
hidden text instead of conditional text, testing for null instead of
particular values, etc.. I've used brackets around names. I've ensured
that the names match in a case sensitive fashion.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I just can't get it to work.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Conditional text should be easy and intuitive. I admit to the
possibility that I'm doing something wrong, but if I am, no one in the
forums I've submitted this problem to has offered any suggestion as to
what it may be. The help and online documentation don't provide any
clues either. Either it's broken or it operates in a really unintuitive
manner
