Hi Martin – be great to have a look at the docs when you can send them. Seems that I’ve got a lot to learn!
So, when you start to use TT syntax in notices then the best practice is to not use the standard <<>> “variables”, but to use TT syntax ONLY throughout the notice?

Finally, your mixing <<>> and [%%] syntax. Whilst this does work, it's good practice to switch as a whole. As a last note, there's actually some TT helpers for this type of insert. I'll dig out the docs for it and add a reply here when I'm not in my phone ;) On Thu, 4 Jan 2024, 4:35 pm Stephen Graham via Koha-devel, <koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org<mailto:koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org>> wrote: Sorry, I was supposed to send this to the general Koha list – please ignore!!

I had some TT in an email notice like: [% IF illrequests.branchcode == “CL” %] College Lane LRC [% ELSIF illrequests.branchcode == “DH” %] De Havilland LRC [% ELSE %] <<illrequests.branchcode>> [% END %] Every time I generated the email it printed CL, which is the value of llrequests.branchcode. I just could not get the first condition to work no matter what I did – it never printed College Lane LRC always CL. However, I changed it to: [% SET localbranch = illrequests.branchcode %] [% IF illrequests.branchcode == localbranch %] College Lane LRC [% ELSIF illrequests.branchcode == localbranch %] De Havilland LRC [% ELSE %] <<illrequests.branchcode>> [% END %] , and this works if I set the illrequests.branchcode to a local variable and then check this. Not sure why I have to do this? The example I have seen on the wiki look like I should be able to test a variable against a string using ==. Just couldn’t get it to work. Any ideas?
