Hi Anne,

Genuine conditional fields are in our development plans, but have not been implemented yet.

However, it is possible to implement a custom field that will behave in a similar way using the TextBeforeIfNotEmpty and TextAfterIfNotEmpty properties of MergeFields. By default they are not added if the field value is empty string. In the attached sample implementation they are added if the value is not 0. Please find the project attached.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

Hi Petya,

Could you send me a VB.NET version of your project ? I don't manage to convert it via your Code Converter.

Thank you,

Anne

Thank you the solution you provided to us work well.

Could you tell me how to keep carriage returns within TextAfterIfNotEmpty.

For instance :

{CUSTOMIFMERGEFIELD ForSou \b False \f "text :
 line1
line 2
line 3"}

When i merge the document i get this : text : line1line 2line 3

When i change Display mode to FieldDisplayMode.Code; i get :
{CUSTOMIFMERGEFIELD ForSou \b False \f "text : line1line 2line 3"}
It delete carriage return & line feed

Thank you for your help,

Anne.

Hello Anne,

Unfortunately, the result you are trying to achieve is not possible with the current implementation. We have had similar requests in the past, however the feature has not been scheduled yet and I cannot tell if and when it will be implemented.

Let us know if you have other comments or questions.

Kind regards,
