didnt get a reply from <#C466X49JB|> so ill ask here. Anyone ever declare variables and do math within the template? Freemarker documentation is hurting my brain.

I haven't worked with pdf templates yet. But I'll suggest that when you cross post from channels you share the original message rather than copy/pasting, that way people in both channels can share the same thread

Math is doable in Freemarker.
What are you trying to do

there is decent documentation here-
<https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/pgui.html>

but describing exactly what you're trying to do would help us help you

Yea ive been going through the documentation. Markup language terminology is new to me so its confusing. For my scenario, im trying to have a BOM contain a column that shows qty of part/assembly.

Ex.
An Assembly consists of ten items

A BOM is generated that requires ten Assemblies to be built

The pick list table would look like this:

was thinking something like this:

&lt;table class="itemtable" style="width: 100%; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;!-- start items --&gt;&lt;#list record.item as item&gt;&lt;#if item_index==0&gt;
    &lt;thead&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
           &lt;th align="left" colspan="10" padding-left="60px"&gt;${item.item@label}&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align="center" colspan="2"&gt;Qty&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align="center" colspan="2"&gt;Qty/Unit&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th align="center" colspan="1"&gt;Pick&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/thead&gt;
    &lt;/#if&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;td colspan="12"&gt;${item.custcol_item_id} ${item.description}&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td align="right" colspan="2" line-height="100%"&gt;${item.quantity} ${item.units}&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;#assign x = item.quantity / record.quantity&gt;
            &lt;td align="right" colspan="2" line-height="100%"&gt;${x}&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/#list&gt;&lt;!-- end items --&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/#if&gt;

havent actually tried it yet so may be some syntax errors
