Can I write a elseif in Macro syntax ? Like: {% if(a == "value1"){ "some test 1" }elseif(a=="value2"){ "some test 2" }else{ "some test 3" } %}

Hi Jakaria,

Yes you write it in macro.

can you brief about what exactly you want to implement because it depends on the transformation type. For most of them (like Text/XML) you can simply use this one

{%
if (...) {
...
}
else {
...
}

you can use ternary operator like below.

{%(a=="value1")? "some test 1": a=="value2"? "some test 2": "some test 3"|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Thanks

Happy to help

Hi Jakaria, I think you need to do on this way

{% 
if(a == "value1"){ "some test 1" }
else{
    if(a=="value2"){ "some test 2" }
    else{ "some test 3" }
}
|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Best regards

Thanks @Vukasin, I also use that way, but if we will able to use elseif, syntax will be more easy and simple.

Hi Jakaria,

2nd one is more clean and faster.
