Item name vs. display name on Advance PDF Templates

edited Feb 11, 2021 12:21AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 6 comments

We've switched our Sales Order pdf layout over to the advanced pdf version.  I noticed that ${item.item} is a combination of the Item Name {ItemID} and Display Name {displayname}. 
In the basic printing type (original transaction pdf templates), if the item's display name is not blank, only the display name will show.  (The item name {itemID} will not.)  If the display name is blank, then only the item name {itemid} will show.  I need this to function the same way on the advanced pdf template.  Some of our items have a display name and others don't.  If it's there, we only want the display name to show - not the item name.  How can I achieve this in the advanced templates? Any help is appreciated!

Howdy, Stranger!
