Filtering a DADict/set of checkboxes to display in the Docx template
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
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() }}.* or *{%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!

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.
