I appreciate your help and the very fast response.

It could be that my setup is not right, or the version or something. I have been playing around with both options, and I can not get the data to exist in the template. Either it is blank or the template fails with parsing errors or undefined.

I really do appreciate your help, I will keep looking for a solution.

I was trying to implement the first option you suggested but I am having some trouble:

1. How should I be creating this config file? If I am using the Studio UI- am I creating a new asset?

2. Once the config file is created, how can I import it in a handlebar template? I have tried different syntax but handlerbar is not accepting any of the options from the docs {{#asset “config.js” “utf8”}} or {{asset “config.js” “utf8“}} . Also tried to require it in the script but jsreports.assets is undefined. Tried to install jsreports-assets but that did not help.

I will really appreciate any guidance here.
Thank you

very interesting, thank you very much, I will play around this those.

If I want to have a config object like this

const configColumns = [
{ 
   format: "string",
  columnType: "string"
},
{ 
   format: "integer",
  columnType: "integer"
}
]

that will be available in a few different templates. where will I set that up? my assumption is that this different than global helper methods, right?

Hey,

Is there a way to declare an object, let's call it config (for performing logic in the templates), and import it to specific templates?

Thank you
