Expression Builder: HTML List + Java data [message #1671294]

Hello,

I am new to BIRT and my problem is currently in using the expression builder. I was trying to find tutorials or topics with similar issues but could not find any. I hope this question is not too simple.

I made a grid and would like to add a bullet point list in one cell where each bullet point consists of a string that is a combination of Data Set Fields and text. For this I thought the dynamic text and expression builder is the way to go.

This one works:

row["SDG"]

But as soon as I add html I cannot get any value to display from the datasource fields

<ul style="list-style-type:square">
  <li>This + row["SDG"] + does not work</li>
  <li>row["SDG"]</li>
</ul>

what is my mistake and if it does work somehow, can I also use java style if/then evaluations for each point?

Try encapsulating the row["SDG"] in a <value-of>
