The same document cannot recognize the conditional expressions in the form,

 

 

 

 

but it can recognize the conditional expressions outside the form.

 

 

Can anyone tell me why this is?

@default4xctu2zqo1f6 ,

I believe that repeating sections are currently limited to being outside of tables. You are using tables in your document for layout, and as it relates to Document Generation, tables are thought of more for tabular data where the rows are the repeating items.

I see how you are trying to use it, and I will pass your use-case back to our engineering team. However, for the time being, my understanding is that repeating sections exist outside of tables.

@Ben Vanderberg 

I'm using tables for layout control as well.  This is causing us issues as too.  We are building a certificate (landscape, left most 2/3's of page contains client info and the other 1/3 on the right has certification information).  We need to exclude line breaks and merged data if no data is presented.  Examples:

 

Example 1: 

Company Name

Division Name 1, Division Name 2, Division Name 3, etc...

Address

 

Example 2:

Company Name

Address

 

Can we use conditional logic in Text Boxes to PIN data to specific areas in word?

 

Also, how do we make a text tag multiline?  My JSON data is passing in the \r\n in the address composite but only showing as a single line in the PDF output.

Note:  I just tried conditional logic in a simple text box and it doesn't apear to work there either...
