Email velocity token

Question

I have created custom objects named as CO and using custom objects (CO)field as a email script token in email for the field created "role". I want to populate based on condition if part of custom objects display role.

Problem - Using if condition code it jumps to else condition only.

I want to check empty value in custom objects(field xyz) as well as empty in lead standard ( i.e. not in custom table).

I am not checking non empty for the field xyz property .

And abc field is link id with lead standard in Marketo. which is related with xyz as a child field.

And for empty value in custom objects field xzy I want to display zero and empty value for lead standard ( i.e. not in custom table). I want to display zero here also.

For, non empty value field xyz I want to display value in email but no checking is needed only display value.

You just changed your spec: you didn't mention anything about Lead properties before.

In any case, the correct way to check whether a property value is empty is, as noted above:

#if( $someObject.somePropertyName.isEmpty() )

That $someobject could be the built-in $lead or it could be a Custom Object record in your list of Custom Objects, as you're #foreach-ing over the list. When you do

#foreach( $someItem in $someList )

then, inside the #foreach, $someItem is automatically set to the current record as you iterate, record [0], record [1], record [2], and so on.

To begin with, your code isn't valid Velocity. You must have taken empty() from another language. The correct way to check in Velocity/Java is

#if( $someReference.isEmpty() )

Then you're just gettting the first item in the list of loyaltypoints. Don't you want to check if any items in the list have a non-empty totalActual property? Why would you just check one? And what is supposed to happen if more than one item has a non-empty totalActual?
