Velocity Script - How to evaluate for several values in a field

Question

Dear Velocity Script masters, I have a script where I am trying to evaluate if one of 3 values is present in a custom object field. If so then display a formatted date. Here is the script I have hacked together: I have recently added lines 6 and 7, attempting to include the values AC_G or AC_S in the evaluation. Basically, I want the script to function for values AC_P or AC_G or AC_S. I have them commented out in this because as-is they do not work properly. Is my syntax wrong or should this be accomplished in a different way? #set( $exp = ${lDISales_cList.get(0).lDIExpireDate} ) #set( $interestingItems = [] ) #foreach( $item in $lDISales_cList ) #if( $item.lDIRenewalEffortNumber.equals("1") ) #if( $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_P") ) ##elseif( $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_G") ) ##elseif( $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_S") ) #set( $void = $interestingItems.add($item) ) #set( $ExpireDate = $convert.parseDate($item.lDIExpireDate,'yyyy-MM-dd') ) ##$date.format('MMM dd, yyyy', ${display.list($interestingItems,"
","
","lDIExpireDate")})## ##${display.list($interestingItems,"
","
","lDIExpireDate")} ${date.format('EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy',$ExpireDate)}## #end #end #end Thanks much Marketo Engage superheros! Eric

#if( $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_P") || $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_G") || $item.lDIOrderClass.equals("AC_S") ) or alternately, as it's more scalable#set( $interestingOrderClasses = ["AC_P","AC_G","AC_S"] )#if( $interestingOrderClasses.contains($item.lDIOrderClass) )

You might already know this @eric_rex3 , but just to double-check:

When you have an #if statement with #elseif conditions as well, the action you want the script to take should be after each evaluation, not at the end of all your #elseif evaluations.

For example, this won't "do something" if $check1, $check2 or $check3 = 1. Only if $check3 = 1 since that line directly follows only that condition.

#if($check1.equals(1))
#elseif($check2.equals(1))
#elseif($check3.equals(1))
###do something
#end

So the below would accomplish the same thing as what Sanford posted, albeit less elegantly:

#if($check1.equals(1))
###do something
#elseif($check2.equals(1))
###do something
#elseif($check3.equals(1))
###do something
#end

Apologies if this is already known, I wasn't 100% sure from your code.
