Document Generation (Word): Inequality / negation in conditional-section inside repeating-section not working as expected

Hello,

I am using the Document Generation API with a Word template, and I’m encountering unexpected behavior when using conditional-section inside a repeating-section.

The Template tags I am using in word doc:

{% repeating-section data.group_family.products %}

   {% conditional-section expr(id = "soft_bundles") %}
      Table 1
   {% end-section %}

   {% conditional-section expr(id != "soft_bundles") %}
      Table 2
   {% end-section %}

{% end-section %}

Sample JSON:

{
  "data": {
    "group_family": {
      "products": [
        { "name": "Soft Bundles", "id": "soft_bundles" },
        { "name": "Product A", "id": "prod_a" },
        { "name": "Product B", "id": "prod_b" },
        { "name": "Product C", "id": "prod_c" },
        { "name": "Product D", "id": "prod_d" },
        { "name": "Product E", "id": "prod_e" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Questions

1. Is there a known limitation or special handling required for inequality (!=) or negation (not()) inside conditional-section when used within a repeating-section?
2. In expr(...), what does $ or $.field refer to?
   • The current repeating item?
   • Or the root document?
3. Can Word content control boundaries (e.g., conditional sections split across paragraphs or controls) cause different evaluation contexts, even if the template appears correctly nested?

Thank you!
