Jelly <j:if> condition issue

[xiaix]

Trying to create a Jelly if condition that will essentially do this:

if ((jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_Author_EDIT') || (jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_FULL_VIEW' && bcpPROCESSES.u_name != ''))

I've come up with this:

<j:if test="(${jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_Author_EDIT'}) || (${jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_FULL_VIEW'} ${AMP}${AMP} ${bcpPROCESSES.u_name != ''})">

But it's not working.

I'm sure I just haven't had enough coffee this morning.   Could I get a little assistance with the correct way to form the jelly <j:if> syntax?

I'm not as familiar with Jelly as I'd like, but I think you need either $[AMP]$[AMP] (with brackets, not braces), or better yet, ${AND}, as your operator.

Hope this helps,

Your link led me to this:   Extensions to Jelly Syntax - ServiceNow Wiki :

So:

<j:if test="${jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_Author_EDIT' || (jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_FULL_VIEW' &amp;&amp; bcpPROCESSES.u_name != '')}">

works, but it's always evaluating to true... so now onto why it's doing that.

Can you try using [] instead of {}

This is failing:

<j:if test="${jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_FULL_VIEW' &amp;&amp; bcpPROCESSES.u_name != ''}">

This is failing:

<j:if test="$[jvar_calling_UI_Page == 'bcp_DEPT_FULL_VIEW' &amp;&amp; bcpPROCESSES.u_name != '']">

Anytime I try and use &amp;&amp; it pukes.
