In many objects one can have more sophisticated logic that is influencing its behaviour.

The following is an example of if statements that change the outcome of a notification depending on other values.

apply Notification "host-mail-noc" to Host {
  import "mail-host-notification"

  // replace interval inherited from `mail-host-notification` template with new notfication interval set by a host custom attribute
  if (host.vars.notification_interval) {
    interval = host.vars.notification_interval
  }

  // same with notification period
  if (host.vars.notification_period) {
    period = host.vars.notification_period
  }

  // Send SMS instead of email if the host's custom attribute `notification_type` is set to `sms`
  if (host.vars.notification_type == "sms") {
    command = "sms-host-notification"
  } else {
    command = "mail-host-notification"
  }

  user_groups = [ "noc" ]

  assign where host.address
}

It would be nice and fairly easy to add an option that is "printed unchanged" by the template.

Hi,

I was just to open another ticket, then I saw this, I really would like to have a generic way to add functionality like this.
I.e. where I need it is in the checkcommands, for example to use functions as values for the parameters, for example to create stuff like this:

...
    "--ssl" = {
                set_if = "$have_ssl$"
              }
...

In the "current" state of art, it creates things like:

"--ssl" = "{\n set_if=$ssl$\n }\n"

that breaks the whole command.
