Rule to add a hyphen

[wellers_97]

We have a variable letter that we are setting up in fusion pro. On one page there is an agreement summary and it lists the Optional Coverage that they have. There are 24 different options (fields). What I'm trying to achieve is that if fields are used there will be a hyphen between them but it will drop out if not.

 

Example:

Option1 - Option2 - Option3 - Option 4

 

I started with this which works but I'm sure there is a much easier way than doing this for each option?

 

if ((Field("optional1") != "") && (Field("optional2") != ""))

return Field("optional1") + " - " + Field("optional2");

else if ((Field("optional1") != "") && (Field("optional2") == ""))

return Field("optional1");

else

return "";

Give this a try

 

var listOptions = []; //declare array

for (i=1;i<=24;i++) { //setup loop to cycle through optional fields
   var option = Field("optional"+i);
   if (option != "") { //if the optional field is not blank then add to array     
       listOptions.push(option);
   }
}    
   return listOptions.join(" - "); //list the array values separated by -

Worked perfectly! Thank YOU!
