For example the main print abc, def, ghi.

Inside abc print there are abcnonbk, abcactbk, abcpriorbk, abcprose(added conditions)

Def=defnonbk, defactbk, defpriorbk,defprose

Ghi= ghinonbk, ghiactbk, ghipriorbk,ghiprose

This is what I have created but is give me error.

var lettertype = record.fields.LetterNumber;

if (lettertype == ‘abcnonbk, abcactbk, abcpriorbk, abcprose’){

merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['def, ghi'].enabled = __false__;

}

else if(lettertype == ’ defnonbk, defactbk, defpriorbk,defprose '){

merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['abc,ghi'].enabled = __false__;

}

else if(lettertype == ’ ghinonbk, ghiactbk, ghipriorbk,ghiprose '){

merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['abc,def'].enabled = __false__;

}

Hello katie,

You could have, of course, arrays defining which section is enabled for each type of letter. However, there is a much easier way to do this - simply using the first 3 characters of the LetterNumber field.

Here’s some code that should work for you:

// Resets all sections to disabled.
var printSections = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections;
for (var i = 0; i < printSections.length; i++) {
    var section = printSections[i];
    section.enabled = false;
}

// Gets the first 3 letters of the record field
var templateType = record.fields.LetterNumber.slice(0,3);

// Activate this particular template
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections[templateType].enabled = true;

This code is pretty optimized and will expand very easily - all you need to do is make sure that new sections are called, exactly, with the first 3 letters of the contents of LetterNumber.

Obviously my example is built upon the pseudocode you showed here - if the actual section names are not just the first 3 characters, or have variable length and such is could be more complex. But this is the gist of it.
