Posted on by Tom Thompson

Hello All

Is it possible to use a variable inside a Dynamics 365 liquid tag? For example, I would like to set the entity form name using the following tag

{% entityform name: 'My Entity Form' %}

But for 'My Entity Form' I would like to use a variable. My code is as follows:

    {% assign eForm =  page.adx_entityform.name %}
    {% assign mBudgetID = request.params['id'] %}
	  {% assign mBudget = entities.new_budget[mBudgetID] %}
      {% if mBudget %}
        {% assign mbState = mBudget.statuscode.label %}
        {% if mbState == 'Submitted' %}
              {% entityform name:'My Entity Form' %}
        {% else %}
              {% entityform name:{{ eForm }} %}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}

The resulting page displays the following error: Liquid error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: input

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Tom

Thank you Goutam. I had previously tried to build the output using the capture tags, but was unsuccessful.

Below is an example of the code

{% assign eForm = page.adx_entityform.name %} {% assign mBudgetID = request.params['id'] %} {% assign mBudget = entities.new_budget[mBudgetID] %} {% if mBudget %} {% assign mbState = mBudget.statuscode.label %} {% if mbState == 'Submitted' %} {% entityform name:'My Entity Form' %} {% else %} {% capture rForm %} {% entityform name:'{{ eForm }}' %}{% endcapture %} {{ rForm }} {% entityform name:{{ rForm }} %} {% endif %} {% endif %

I had also tried a variation of this, as in the example below

{% assign eForm = page.adx_entityform.name %} {% assign mBudgetID = request.params['id'] %} {% assign mBudget = entities.new_budget[mBudgetID] %} {% if mBudget %} {% assign mbState = mBudget.statuscode.label %} {% if mbState == 'Submitted' %} {% entityform name:'My Entity Form' %} {% else %} {% capture rForm %} '{{ eForm }}'{% endcapture %} {{ rForm }} {% entityform name:{{rForm}} %} {% endif %}

You don't need the {{ inside the {% tag. So instead of:

{% entityform name:{{rForm}} %}

Just do:

{% entityform name: rForm %}
