Checking if a context variable is boolean true/false in a FTL (freemarker template)

Bamboo Development

I have built a build processor that has some UI pieces… A User can update some settings when they are configuring a plan, focused on a job, and click on the Miscellaneous tab…

In my code, i make a check to see if they are a bamboo admin (or something equivalent to an admin)

In my FTL i want to check that variable and if is ‘true’ then display additional settings, if ‘false’ then skip them…

I don’t get any template errors in my log, and i know the admin variable is getting set to true (string)

PostBuildForAction.java

public class PostBuildForAgentAction extends BaseConfigurablePlugin implements CustomBuildProcessor {
     ....
     ....
         public static final String FOR_ADMIN = "custom.company.for.admin";
         public static final String DISABLE_SCANNER = "custom.company.for.disable.scanner";
         public static final String DISABLE_BREAKER = "custom.company.for.disable.build.breaker";

     ....
    @Override
    protected void populateContextForEdit(@NotNull final Map<String, Object> context, @NotNull final BuildConfiguration buildConfiguration, @Nullable final Plan plan) {
    ....
    ....
        boolean isAdmin = bambooPermissionManager.isAdmin(user);
        log.debug ("Current User " + user );
        log.debug ("Is an admin? " + Boolean.toString(isAdmin));
        context.put(DISABLE_BREAKER,buildConfiguration.getString(DISABLE_BREAKER));
        context.put(DISABLE_SCANNER,buildConfiguration.getString(DISABLE_SCANNER));
        context.put(FOR_ADMIN, isAdmin?"true":"false");
        context.put("filterList", dataList);

And finally my template

[@ui.bambooSection title='Scanner' ]

    [#if (plan.buildDefinition.customConfiguration.get('custom.company.for.admin'))?has_content ]
        [@ww.checkbox label='Disable Scanner ' name='custom.company.for.disable.scanner' toggle='true' /]
        [@ww.checkbox label='Disable Breaker ' name='custom.company.for.disable.build.breaker' toggle='true' /]
    [/#if]

    [@ww.select label="Filter" name="custom.company.for.filter" required='false' list=filterList listKey="value" listValue="displayName" /]

[/@ui.bambooSection]

Esssentially as an admin logged it, i should see 2 checkboxes and a dropdown… and I am only seeing the drop down (select).

i have tried ?? ?has_content ?boolean, i have set the values to true/false, True/False, True/"", true/""

any help/suggestion would greatly be appreciated…

Ok think i understand what might be going on…

Can someone please verify for me… If i set

context.put("VARNAME","VALUE")

I can display or evaluated the value in the FTL with

[#if (${'VARNAME'})?hasContent ]
  Value is ${'VARNAME'}
[/#if]

Or how do you get it?
