In this ui macro how to hide empty variables>please provide any information

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<tr>

<label style="margin-left: 10px"> Summary of Task being approved:

<g:label_spacing/> </label>

</td>

</tr>

<g:evaluate var="jvar_ni" expression="

var task = ${ref}.sysapproval;

"/>

<tr>

<td>

<j:set var="jvar_old_ref" value="${ref}"/>

<g:evaluate>var sc_task = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item'); sc_task.get(task);</g:evaluate>

<j:set var="ref" value="sc_task" />

<j:set var="jvar_questionset_read_only" value="true" />

For this we have to modify below UI macro

approval_variable_summary

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate>

var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet();

set.setRequestID('${jvar_sc_req_item}');

set.setTaskID('${jvar_sc_task}');

set.load();

</g:evaluate>

<j:forEach var="jvar_question" items="${set.getFlatQuestions()}">

<j:if test="${jvar_question.isVisibleSummary()&&jvar_question.getDisplayValue() != ''}">

<g:summarize_question question="${jvar_question}" />

</j:if>

</j:forEach>

</table>

</j:jelly>

This is good! How do you address for the variables that result in "False" or "None"

mdsannavulla · ‎06-03-2015

If the field value is None means it is empty and it will not be displayed but if the value is false means it displays the field on the form.

If it is a drop down, it will default to"-none-"

if it is a check-box, it will default to "false"

How can we manipulate the code, so it will only show variables on the approval summary page, that are relevant to the options selected

mdsannavulla · ‎06-03-2015

If you don't want to show the fields which are having value false then try like this

&&jvar_question.getDisplayValue() != 'fasle'

But that wont always be the case, I do want the field to be present, if it is related the option (show/hide UI Policy) being selected.
