Server Side Javascript conditional statement asset_type_code

You can’t evaluate keywords during SSJS execution. Picture your code going through three distinct phases:

  • Complete keywords are processed - in your example that would only be the one on the first line
  • Then the JavaScript is executed
  • Then the output of the SSJS print statements is processed for keywords

Any keyword results you want to do logic on, such as lines 6-8, must be completely evaluated before the SSJS runs. When your code runes line8, the value of typecode is “%globals_asset_type_code:12345%”, not the result of that keyword.

I’m not sure you can pull child and grandchild assets into a variable with a single keyword, you may need to use an asset listing.
