Conditional syntax for custom fields

[lucasssfigueredo]

Hi.

I created a custom field and would like to filter the work items by it. Can you help me with the If syntax?

I tried the following, but got an error.

{{#forEach workItems}}

{{#if {{lookup this.fields 'Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'}} == true}}

##{{this.id}} {{lookup this.fields 'System.Title'}}

Type: {{lookup this.fields 'System.WorkItemType'}}

{{{lookup this.fields 'Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'}}}
{{{lookup this.fields 'Custom.Releasenotes'}}}

{{/if}}
{{/forEach}}

I don't think there is an out the box string comparator in Handlebars see this post

So, off the top of my head, you can use something like the following using one of the handlebar helpers

{{#forEach this.workItems}}
{{#if isFirst}}### Only show this line on the first time around the loop - a title{{/if}}
{{#if (contains (lookup this.fields ''Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'') 'true')}}
##{{this.id}} {{lookup this.fields 'System.Title'}}
Type: {{lookup this.fields 'System.WorkItemType'}}
{{{lookup this.fields 'Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'}}}
{{{lookup this.fields 'Custom.Releasenotes'}}}
{{/if}}
{{/forEach}}

This is based on a past issue #710 and I know it works (though that was comparing tag fields, it is the same ide)

I am sure you could swap the

{{#if (contains (lookup this.fields ''Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'') 'true')}}

for

{{#if (eq (lookup this.fields ''Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes'') 'true')}}

But I have not tested that

Thanks a lot Richard.

The second option worked fine:

{{#if (eq (lookup this.fields 'Custom.AddtoReleaseNotes') true)}}
