Show Empty Field Element in print format

Frappe Framework Print Formats
1

I want to show all Element in the form even if it is empty.
for ex.
I created Maintenance check form like this :

as you see last two checkbox & input feilds are empty. but:

in print format these two are missing in the print?!!
it will be vary confusing for the maintainer or management if the form is not compleate.
How to solve this?

Given the scenario, a Select field of yes/no should be better, and will also solve the printing issue.

This is not a solution for me.
I want to print empty checkbox!
what about last two empty input text fields @umair ?

@Mohammed_Redha,

unchecked fields are ignored in the Standard Print Format. Please check frappe/standard_macros.html at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub

To show the unchecked field on the print format you will need to change the conditions in standard_macros.html, But this is not recommended as it may break the future updates. You may use the solution suggested by @umair.

Thanks,
Makarand

@Mohammed_Redha,

Empty fields are ignored in print format please check the standard_macros.html file.

Thanks, Makarand

Hi ,

Is there any way to show blank fields in the print format now? I’m really surprised that this wasn’t immediately available in Print Settings. Any guidance on the current state/workarounds would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

This is also affecting custom print formats not just the standard ones! If anyone could suggest a workaround for this, I’d be most grateful

Kind regards,

@Mohammed_Redha, you find any solution to this

16

@Farhan unfortunately, No, I used custom print format to handle my requirement

17

@Mohammed_Redha thanks

@Mohammed_Redha Sorry for the necro, but when you said you used a custom print format, do you mean to say that you abandoned the gui-based print format builder and used a Jinja template instead?

19

Yes, I used Jinja template.
