Freemaker Condition Logic Not working

Question

Hello All, 
 I have an XML generated and based on a valid XML tag I need to display the data. 
 &laquo;[#if doc.xml.A1 == "true"]&raquo; 
 &laquo;@before-row[#list doc.xml.good.A2 as l] &laquo;${1}&raquo; &laquo;@after-row[/#list]&raquo; 
 &laquo;[#else]&raquo; 
 &laquo;@before-row[#list doc.xml.good.A3 as l ]&raquo; &laquo;${1}&raquo; &laquo;@after-row[/#list]&raquo; 
 &laquo;[/#if]&raquo; 
 In my case the If condition is not working when called from DOCX template which is called from a DOCX From Dynamic Template through a process. 
 I need to should 2 rows, but in the document it always shows 4 rows. 
 
 Can anyone help to check conditional logic is correct? 
 Thanks & Regards 
 Girish

[#if doc.xml.A1 = "true"]&#187; 
 I would try with a single "=" sign. But I think it might also depend on whether A1 is a boolean or a String. 
 This thread has some examples: community.appian.com/.../docx-from-dynamic-template 
 As an alternative I would suggest that you put that if logic in whatever you use to generate the list in the XML before you send it for generation. I would put the least amount of logic in the word if you can avoid it as it is difficult to debug,

Hi girishk0002 , 
 I previously faced this situation and the solution that I used is similar to what was recommended by mathieud0001 . I implemented a logic during the XML generation that was validating if the value to be attributed was True of False. In case true I would give to the field (A1 in your case) the value, however is was false I would send null. 
 Than in the FreeMarker I used the following condition: 
 [#if doc.xml.A1?has_content] 
 I hope that help you.
