Thanks for chiming in @chaley!

I tried the "if" expression path, because I do not really need the numeric comparison, a string comparison against "0" should be enough.

However I get an error. The full code for my sub title expression looks like this:

Code:

{series:'test($, strcat("<i>", $, "</i>", program: if raw_field("formatted_series_index") == "0" then "" else raw_field("formatted_series_index"),"<br>"), "")'}
{#version:'test($, strcat("<b>", $, "</b>"),"")'}

and I always see the message "Template error Formatter" complaining about not enough closing brackets - but I think the brackets are correct. What do I do wromg?
