Page properties problem when not defined

When I try to use in the word template custom page properties, in the newer version of Scroll Word Exporter (4.2.14) if the page property is not defined the resulting string is null, in previous versions it was putting an empty string. Is this a known issue, or its normal?

I tried to do a workaround by using "empty" fallback text, but i still get null in the resulting document, is this the correct way to add an empty string:

$scroll.pageproperty.(Classification, false, )

 

Best regards,

Carl

  Hi Carl, thanks for your post.

  When defining the placeholder and not adding any alternate text it will print the wording null.

  However, if you want to have an empty string when the Page Property is unavailable you can simply add an empty whitespace after the false value. So the placeholder will look like yours:

  $scroll.pageproperty.(Classification,false,  )

  Does this work for you? If not, can you share your export template and page with the page properties as an XML export to help@k15t.com?

  Thanks, Thomas

  Greetings,

                Thanks, just adding a blank space as default value did resolve the issue!

  Thanks again for the advice!
