How to use handlebar conditions in email templates

[vps]

Is there a way or workaround to use handlebar conditions in normal email templates?

Current version: 5.7.9

Expample:

    <!-- {{#if Lead.lastName}} --> <Dear Mr. {Lead.lastName}}, <!-- {{else}} --> Dear Sir or Madam, <!-- {{/if}} -->

Not possible.

Hi @Yuri

It says that this might be possible in the email template documentation https://docs.espocrm.com/user-guide/...lebars-support though it is mentioned that it is only experimental.

is there any chance this could be implemented in future hence they are using the same template system ?

Thanks

Still not working, at least not working with {{#ifEqual ...}} ... a pity!

It works. Please do not give misleading information. The parent field should be not empty (mentioned in the docs Rabii refered). You can use helpers with attributes of the parent-entity as arguments.

@Yuri
First of all I must appologize, I did not *intend* to give misleading information! Still, I don't get it ...
"You can use helpers with attributes of the parent-entity as arguments." -> Could you please give an example?
I tried
{{#ifEqual Person.salutationName "Herr"}}Sehr geehrter {Person.salutationName} {Person.name}{{/ifEqual}}
{{#ifEqual Person.salutationName "Frau"}}Sehr geehrte {Person.salutationName} {Person.name}{{/ifEqual}}
{{#ifEqual Person.salutationName "Dr"}}. Guten Tag {Person.salutationName} {Person.name}{{/ifEqual}}
If e.g. salutationName is "Herr", this will result in *three* lines like
"Sehr geehrter Herr firstname lastname
Sehr geehrte Frau firstname lastname
Guten Tag Dr. firstname lastname"
instead of only the forst one. I also tried {{#ifEqual ... 'Herr'}} and {{#ifEqual ... Herr}} -> same result. This gave me the impression, that it does NOT work.
Perhaps I don't get, which is the parent-entity of an Email template, where to find the "parent field" and what to fill in there.
