report designer - conditional format - Multiple options

It would be useful to be able to define multiple conditional format options, each with their own set of conditional properties


Note an alternative option would be able to embed font properties in expressions


We have a site with 3 main companies, they have a single layout for invoices / credit notes

I am using conditional formatting to set the colour of some text

Luckily two of the companies use blue and one uses green

I would not be able to do this if one company used blue, another green, and another yellow

Idea Benefit Allows for a cleaner design and easier maintenance3
How do you solve for this problem today? The alternative is to have multiple objects, all with Suppress Print = True and each with a conditional format to dictate when each is printed - Overlapping all these objects is very time consuming

    Already possible. Use Tools / Options / Use Advanced Conditional Formatting, then look up SWITCH in the help files.; eg.

    Switch SYSCountryCodes.Code

    Case "DE": TextStyle->Color:=NamedColor("Red")

    Case "FR": TextStyle->Color:=NamedColor("Blue")

    Default: TextStyle->Color:=NamedColor("Green")
