Hi,
I’m keeping on testing your product and there is one another thing I don’t understand how it works.
Hide-block-if-empty.
I have a block of shipping address.
In this block, I have 5 lines (with 3 optional and linebreaker foreach line) + zip code + city
With HBI-empty, if line 4 is empty, everything is hidden.
I just want the line and the breaker hidden.
How to do that ?

Hello Vincent,
The HBI-empty hides the particular block in which it is used, as suggested on the given link:

Can you please share your word template with some dummy data replicating the issue so that we can replicate the same issue at our end and assist you further accordingly?
Regards,
Prabhat Sharma.

In word, create a table.
In a cell
The JSON :
[code]{
“Item”:{
“DataJson”:{
“DateGeneration”:“04/10/2022”,
“Immatriculation”:“100000074”,
“RaisonSociale”:“FREE 1234”,
“dateDebut”:“04/09/2000”,
“dateFin”:“04/10/2022”,
“dateGeneration”:“04/10/2022”,
“NbCommande”:“1”,
“MntTotalCommande”:“9,80”,
“listeCommandes”:{
“detailCommande”:[
{
“NumCommande”:“210002210”,
“DateCommande”:“14/09/2021”,
“FactTxtLigne1”:“Ligne1_Free”,
“FactTxtLigne2”:“Ligne2_Free”,
“FactTxtLigne3”:“Ligne3_Free”,
“FactTxtCodePostal”:“75001”,
“FactTxtLocalite”:“PARIS”,
“FactTxtPays”:“FRANCE”,
“LivTxtLigne1”:“1 NEW ADRESSE”,
“LivTxtLigne2”:“2 NEW ADRESSE”,

“LivTxtLigne5”:“5 NEW ADRESSE”,
“LivTxtCodePostal”:“75007”,

}
]}}}}[/code]

Hello Vincent,
As per the developers, in the cell, the block is a whole row. It’s why hbi-empty works as it is working. As a workaround, you can place them on an invisible table containing a single cell so only this table/cell will be affected.
Please find the attached modified sample for the same.

Prabhat Sharma.

Hello,
Thank you for the answer even if the solution is the one I’ve already applied for my test.
But stil remain the issue of empty line when empty.
I was hoping a better way to do this.

Yes it is the requirement. If a {{}} is empty so delete it and let the next block to move up.
So the grey zone must be deleted or something
