Condition actions for #show/#hide not working

[marklanham]

Which version of the plugin are you using? [ ] Data Populator for Sketch v3.6.2

Describe the bug I'm trying to show/hide a layer in Sketch using Data Populator but it doesn't work. I've tried naming the layer to #show["{user.for_hire}"] as the docs suggest but not having any luck. I've also tried making it a symbol but nothing works. These are the different names I've tried calling the layers:

show["{user.for_hire}"]

show["{for_hire}"]

show["{for_hire}" == true]

show["{user.for_hire == true}"]

show["{user.for_hire}" == true]

{#show["{user.for_hire}" == true]} [#show["{user.for_hire}" == true]]

No matter what, the layer is always showing even if the boolean value is set to false in the data. I tried manually hiding the layer to see if it would then show once set to true but it just remains hidden — nothing I've tried works, have spent hours on this now.

I'm using the test datapopulator-demo.sketch template provided by Data Populator and I'm loading the data from this URL: https://api.unsplash.com/search/photos?client_id=80d96f3329e4b8a67d17ccec7571fef9b606b6d21f0fcd5f2191f84cc5cbf933&page=1&per_page=100&order_by=popular&query=sunset

Environment:

• macOS Version: macOS Big Sur v11.2.3
• Sketch Version: 72.1 (124357)
• Plugin Version: 3.6.2

I've experienced this as well, though specifically it doesn't work in symbol instances. I can get it working if I've named the layer appropriately and directly "Populate Again" on the layer to test it out. But the moment I make the layer into a symbol and attempt to "Populate Again" an instance of the symbol, it doesn't work.

Experiencing the same here. Sketch Version 77 (131065)

Dirty fixed it with Detach from Symbol before populating with data. 🩹

sorry for the hassle, there are issues with conditional actions at the moment – especially with symbols.
