General format switches provided for field codes are ignored

Hi Paulo,
The "IF" statement still appears not to work, tell me if this is correct, I have typed this…
{ IF {MERGEFIELD PAYSTATUS} = 1 "Debit" "Other" }
Which should show the first text in quotes if the payment type was 1 otherwise it should show "Other".
Looking at the Winforms help this seems structured correctly and I have done a full Build after the
download, so what is wrong with this? Am I able to type it manually, or do I need something else?
Also, am I able to "OR" the statement  or not?

Hello Jeff,

Your code looks correct. Moreover, it works as expected on my side after applying the patch from this ticket (see the attached sample project and RTF template). Note that it is necessary to use the Ctrl+F9 key combination to insert the "{ }" container for MERGEFIELD and IF.
As for the OR statement, it can be implemented using combined IF conditions as it is demonstrated in the attached template RTF file.

Hi Paulo,
Thanks for your help. I have managed to get this to work now, after some time experimenting.
The issue seems to be that it is required to press Ctrl+F9 each time an IF statement is required,
so for a compound OR statement  (e.g: IF… IF… IF … etc)  it is not possible to actually type it manually.
This is incredibly fiddly and took me about 1/2 an hour to get one field correct, because if just one
space is in the wrong place, it fails.
Saying that, the field I was parsing did have 4 possible outcomes, so would have been tricky anyway.
Our users certainly would not be able to create their own documents using IF statements,
which therefore would require us to do so.
I think possibly the parser for this could be improved somewhere to make it more accurate
and have the ability to type the command line? Clearly, i'm not sure what your code does, so…

Would you please describe in more detail what you mean by saying "have the ability to type the command line"?
