Display boolean fields of a Field display group

Hi,

When using Field display groups, the boolean fields set as FALSE are not displayed at the frontend.

In particular, these fields are displayed by the template Swift_ProductSpecification.cshtml. Inspecting the template, the boolean fields set as FALSE are not listed as group fields, so they are not even considered to be displayed.

Is there any setting to display the FALSE boolean fields of a Field display group?

Regards,
Tomas

Hi Tomas

Yes, the Specification template is a little messy and it can be tough to know what really happens. In line 454 we actually translates booleans to "Yes" and "No" - Can you telle me a little more about where you thing we filter them off in the template?

Hi Karssten,

The problem is that the boolean fields marked as FALSE are not included in the group fields at line 104. That is, the boolean fields marked as TRUE are included (so they can be processed) but the fields marked as FALSE are not included (so they cannot be processed afterwards).

How can I force them to be included?

Regards,
Tomas

Hi Tomas

The boolean fields are not hidden around line 104, as far I can see. And I still have not been able to find the exact place in the template where it happens. I have asked our backenders to look into if they have something in the code that hides boolean fields set to false.

If you want to do a test on the raw data from the backend, you can replace line 22 - 537 with this:

@foreach (CategoryFieldViewModel group in product.FieldDisplayGroups.Values)
{
foreach (var field in group.Fields) { 
<div>@field.Key @field.Value</div>
}
}

Seems like a bug from the backend. We will have to see what they find.

Hi Karsten,

I tried your code with the same result: The boolean field is only displayed when it is marked as true. It is not displayed when marked as false. I may send you a video proof to your mail if you want.

Please tell me what your backenders discover about it.

Regards,
Tomas
