Custom Field Data in Templates

Updated: 2021-12-13

You can add custom fields to TaxCycle returns to collect data to use in templates and the data monitors. For complete instructions on creating these fields, read the Custom Fields help topic.

You can reference the Unique ID in template code to reference the data in the custom field.

Show the Value in the Field

1. Open the client context by using the {{#CurrentClient}} {{/CurrentClient}} tags.
2. In between these tags, use the customfield function and insert the Unique ID between the quotation marks. For example: {{customfield("Newsletter")}}

Test a Yes/No Field

Use the following code to show or hide content based on the selection in a Yes/No field.

Check for an Amount in a Money Field

Use the following code to show or hide content based on the selection in a Money field.

Use Custom Fields in Template Conditions

You can use a custom field to determine whether a template is used or relevant. For example

1. Create a Yes/No field on the CustomFields worksheet. In this example, the unique id is ClientInvoice.
2. In template properties, create a condition like the following: customfield("ClientInvoice")="Yes"
3. In this example, if the custom field ClientInvoice is answered Yes, the template is considered used. If a template is considered used, then you can include it automatically in a print set.
