Script Token Currency Default Value not showing

[Anonymous]

1. We have a field called lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c that is populated with a number (eg: 12887062). This is actually currency. But it was pulling in as:

2. So to get it to add a $ and a comma and a decimal pt., through some online documentation I found this coding seemed to make that work as a Script Token ( which I called my.My Currency Token 😞 $number.currency($${lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c})

3. However, this broke the Default Value (if the lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c didn’t pull anything in. )

This worked when I didn’t have the Script token code:

But this is what it does now:

Anyone able to help me figure out how to get it coded to enter the Default Value if no number to pull in exists?

Where are you seeing this:

You should never see that...

Oh - good call. When I send myself a test WITHOUT linking to a Lead:

When I put in a Lead that does not have any number in the Potential_Contribution_Margin_c field, it comes through as this (I want it to replace the token with the words revenue lift 😞

Ok, that makes more sense. In your script, just have an #if statement to check if there is a value. If not, you can output your default...

Great thank you! The only thing I couldn't do was get a different default value to pull in when I placed this in two different places, but I guess I can just make another token. This is what I ended up with in the Script Token:

#if ($lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c.toString().length() eq 0)

revenue lift

#else

$number.currency($${lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c})

#end

Your Currency field is already a string in Velocity. You should just need $lead.Potential_Contribution_Margin__c.isEmpty().
