Hi Quinten,

That's a very good point. In version 0.1.46, which I just pushed to GitHub and PyPI, I added methods .true_values() and .false_values() to checkbox objects (DADict objects) so that you can instead write:

The protected classes are {{ protected_classes.true_values() }}.

{%p for key in protected_classes.true_values() %}

{{ key }} is a protected class.

{%p endfor %}

For documentation, see https://docassemble.org/docs/objects.html#DADict.true_values

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

We ran into what I think is probably a pretty common scenario: in a Docx template, displaying only the “checked” options in a checklist. I figured out a syntax that works, but I wonder if there’s a better solution.

Here’s what we did for the interview:

---

question: What protected class do you fall under?

fields:

- Select the protected class(es) that match you or a family member: protected_classes

    datatype: checkboxes

    choices:

      - Family Status

      - Age

      - Receipt of public or rental assistance

      - Gender Identity

…

And here’s what I put in the docx template:

{%p for key, value in protected_classes.iteritems() if value %}

{{ key }}

{%p endfor %}

Is there a better way to do this? It seemed more complicated than I expected.

Quinten
