Use this in your doctype client script

frm.meta.default_print_format = “Your Print Format Name here”;

you can write condition here or make it dynamic also

Thanks for the solution. But I still find this not working all the time. It seem Frappe really love caching.

With following code, it only work if I click refresh (F5) on the browser first.

frappe.ui.form.on('Your DocType', {
    refresh(frm) {
        frm.meta._default_print_format = "Your Print Format"
    }
})

Meaning, if I change the Print Format to anything else during preview, then back to other document without F5, it will remember the last selected format.

Are you facing the same?

@kittiu you can create one custom print format , and add an if else statement to change the view depending on doctype fields .

That’s what I am tryig to do. When you say add if else statement, you mean write where?
Are you talking about adding condition in the client script above?

Thanks!

@kittiu inside the print format itself (html and jinja)
