Print Format Builder - Customizing Items Table (v5)

Frappe Framework Print Formats
1

When using the Print Format Builder is there a way to customize how the Items Table prints out?

I have found the Edit Columns button/function, but that doesn’t do what I’m wanting to do. We have a specific format that we’re trying to get, rather than the information be in columns in the printout we want something like:

1st Assistant, 2 Hours @ $150.00 … $300.00
(description if required)
2nd Assistant, 3 Hours @ $100.00 … $300.00
3rd Assistant, 3 Hours @ $75.00 … $225.00

Where the subtotal for the line item is the only thing that is lined up on the column.

Build the table using Jinja {% for %}

You can loop over doc.items property to get

I have a similar issue and would like to use custom HTML in the table section in the Print Format Builder . Can you share some sample code of how this was acheived.

David,

Sadly, I never got there. I put it off because I don’t quite understand Jinja. If you figured it out, I’d love to know.
