Questions regarding Appian FitNesse tool

#AppianFitNesse

I am working on Appian FitNesse and there are some bottlenecks which I would like share. If anybody has encountered the same limitations in Appian FitNesse and have overcome them, please suggest those solutions.

1.          Looping in Appian FitNesse

          There is a scenario where I want to run a Test Page multiple times by getting the test data from CSV or Database dynamically.
          Is there any looping method to achieve this.

2.          Conditional Statement in Appian FitNesse

          I have a requirement where if a condition is true, I want to execute some statements, else execute some other statements.
          In other words does Appian FitNesse has If Else statement in it.
          Ex: if(condition 1)
                    {
                              Statement 1
                    }
                    else
                    {
                              Statement 2
                    }
          I know there is a "check" keyword/method in Appian FitNesse but it doesn't suffice my above requirement. Please suggest if there is some method which I can use with "check" to achieve...

@Sidhantb,AFAIK we dont have looping and conditional statements in FitNesse.
may be we can accomplish this as a work arround.
Build a scenario that will populates the Input values e.g.

|scenario |populate Test Form |text|int|decimal|datetime|datetime|
|populate field|Title |with |@text |
|populate field|Quantity |with |@int |
|populate field|Price |with |@decimal |
|populate field|Start Date |with |@date |
|populate field|End Date\ t |with |@date\ t|

Build a scenario that will Verifies the Input values e.g.
|scenario |Verify Test Form |text|int|decimal|datetime|datetime|
|verify field|Title |with |@text |
|verify field|Quantity |with |@int |
|verify field|Price |with |@decimal |
|verify field|Start Date |with |@date |
|verify field|End Date\ t |with |@date\ t|

The below Script acts as a test Data for the Scenario that Populates fields.
|scrip t|
|populate Test Form|BeanBags|10|150.3|2016-12-12 |2016-12-20|

Now add a Verify Script

|scrip t|
|Verify Test Form|BeanBags|10|150.3|2016-12-12 |2016-12-20|

Now Add the above Two scripts repeatedly changing the Test Data from the Scripts itself to acheive looping functionality.

Note: This may not be the good idea for large chunks of Test Data, still can be used in conjunction with Boundary Value Analysis technique to limit the Test Data.
