When opening this menu, you see the following popover appear:

You can set the behaviour for variables and their values in these three areas:

  1. Delete line / row when empty: Let's you delete the entire line or row (if the placeholder is in a table) if no value is passed or the value is empty. This allows for dynamically building very complex documents. Learn more: Conditional Paragraph / Row Deletion

  2. Enable Markdown Formatting: Tells DocsAutomator to interpret passed values as Markdown. Learn more: Enable Markdown Formatting

  3. Hidden Values: Hidden values can be used as conditions for sections or emails without showing them in created documents: Hidden Values

  4. Show / hide conditionally: If you want to show or hide values if a certain value is passed, please use show / hide conditionally. Learn more: Conditional Show / Hide

  5. Style conditionally: Almost any of Google Doc's text styles can be set conditionally. Learn more: Conditional Styling
