Differentiating Item Types

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:24PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments
I'm trying to have items on an estimate display differently based on what type of item they are. For instance, if an item is a Description I don't want to display the item name, only the description itself. I'm trying to use an if/else statement, which I thought would be the easiest way, but I'm running into an issue. Here's approximately what I'm doing:
[code]<#if item.type = "Description">   <#else> ${item.item} </#if>[/code]

However descriptions still print the item. I've tried just displaying ${item.type} on the form but it comes up blank. Does this mean I can't use the type field in the advanced forms? Or am I using the wrong field?

Howdy, Stranger!
