Template: possible error?

ownedbycats · 03-19-2021, 05:36 PM

I wanted this template (for Action Chains' single field edit) to return "99" if the values match:

Code:

	program:
	if and(
		check_yes_no('#onkobo', '', 1, 1),
		field('#fanficcat'),
		raw_field('#percentread') ==# 100
		)
	then '99'
	else raw_field('#percentread')
	fi

Unfortunately I can't tell if I did this right because the template tester returns strange result:

Any ideas?

It seems the template evaluator does not like any white space before the 'program:' part.

I took the whitespace out (I was modifying it in Notepad2 because I have set a fixed-width font there) and it works

Thank you

To be precise, a template is GPM only if its first 8 characters are "program:".
