if statement in choice field for dynamic printing

Hi!

Me again :-)

In my database, I have a choice field for usage rights (I'm a photographer). The rights are Yes, No and Limited.

When printing the contract using dynamic printing, I need to convert the simple Yes, No and Limited to a full sentence.

Inside the horrible standard Ninox print tool, I used 

{if index(text(Rights), "Yes") >= 0 then
    "This my my Yes text."}

{if index(text(Rights), "No") >= 0 then
    "This my my No text."}

{if index(text(Rights), "Limited") >= 0 then
    "This my my Limited text."}

How do I do this in dynamic printing?

Thanks!

Johanna

    The easy way is to just add it to your JSON.

    usageRights: switch text(Rights) do
    case "Yes":
        "This my my Yes text."
    case "No":
        "This my my No text."
    case "Limited":
        "This my my Limited text."
end

    Cause I haven't done this before, I thought I would figure it out in Carbone.

    It could look something like:

    {d.rights:ifEQ(Yes):show('Yes Text'):or(.rights):ifEQ(No):show('No Text'):elseShow('Limited Text')}

    The JSON key is called rights and it would get either Yes, No, or Limited.

    It is very handy to have Carbone Studio to do the iterations while I tested the coding.
