Booking Template Conditional Contents on the Schedule Board?

Is it possible to have Conditional contents in the Schedule Board Booking Template?

I'm wanting to add a symbol if a Boolean field is true.

I've tried:

{#if (eq mybooleanfield true)}<b class="fa fa-star" style='color: #ffae42'></b>{/if}

and

<div style='width:{mybooleanfield}00%"><b class="fa fa-euro" style='color: #ffae42' ></b></div>

Based on

The only other work around I can think of is to have a numerical field linked to the Boolean, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.

I had several attempts and also discussed it with the product managers, but did not find a solution. Have therefore logged an idea: experience.dynamics.com/.../

Hi Alex/Alexander, I'm wondering... to use styles in Booking Templates should be possible: "[... go to] Scheduling Parameters and set Disable Sanitizing HTML Templates to Yes. This is required to be able to include CSS statements into the booking templates. Next, add the following HTML and CSS ..."

What in fact is missing I think is the ability to have it conditional (kind of if clauses). We also tried that without success.

What I was thinking about once for working around was, to have calculated fields on your booking entity, that are sometimes empty or conditionally show certain values. And display these in your Booking Template.

Alexander and Manuel, thanks for your replies.

The calculated field works very nicely - I had been thinking of using a flow or workflow.

The Booking Template I used is:

<div style='line-height: 11px !important; width: 99%; overflow: hidden; display: block; text-overflow: ellipsis;'>
<b class="fa fa-star" style='{solution_scheduleboardstyle}"></b>
WO<b>{msdyn_msdyn_workorder_bookableresourcebooking_WorkOrder.msdyn_name}</b><br/>
<b>{msdyn_msdyn_workorder_bookableresourcebooking_WorkOrder.msdyn_account_msdyn_workorder_ServiceAccount.name}</b><br/>
{msdyn_msdyn_workorder_bookableresourcebooking_WorkOrder.msdyn_workordertype}</div>

Where solution_scheduleboardstyle is set to color: #ffae42; display: inline; or display: none; through the calculated field

Alexander's Idea posting would be an improvement to the product and would allow greater flexibility, without needing this sort of work around.

Additional notes:

The above works with the Scheduling Parameter: Disable Sanitizing HTML Templates set to Yes

My understanding now is that my first attempts and attemps that included adding style definitions such as <style> .yes {color: #ffae42; display: inline;} .no {display: none;} </style> within the Booking Template failed because the Schedule Board processing strips out any contents of '{' ... '}', replacing the content with data from CDS fields, leaving blanks where it doesn't find a CDS field
