How to put conditional coding in Task Description

[Soady, Phil]

Hmmm...
different issues arise now.
 
Runtime or definition time ?
 
Definition time perhaps use RTF uploads.
 
Runtime. Workflow attachments.
Perhaps Tasks that do variable replacements (DIALOG) using OLE.
See the control examples in SE80. etc.
 
It progressively gets more complicated the more you wish to do in word and runtime.
 
What about Smartforms ?

Thanks! I poked around and figured it out.
Now, can we do the same thing with Word Templates?

Yes it is possible as you wished...
Enter the task long text,
Change editor mode.
 
Now You see.
 
__ ___bla______________
__ ___bla_______________
 
2 byte field and the large text area.
 
The trick is the first field is normally a format command but it can contain Sapscript command indicator.
 
ie /:   is the sapscript command paragraph type.
 
 
so your text looks like this:
 
/: IF &A& = 'bla'
*  &CONTAINER_VAR_A&   show this field
/: ELSE
*  &CONTAINER_VAR_B&  something else displayed based on if test
/: ENDIF

Hi Rick,
 
One way to do this would be:
 
Define an attribute for the object, say WI_TEXT and set its value in the object program. Use this new attribute in your description.

I have a task and in the task DESCRIPTION text area, I want to put conditional logic. Just don't know how.
 
For instance,
If myValue = 'X'.
"Display this"
else.
"Display that"
endif.
 
Thanks
