Hello @VDVLiesbet,

Welcome!

If you are new, be sure to add hyour topic into the right category, and use proper text code (I’ve done that for you), so it reads more pleasantly 👌

Back to your question:

In your code I see this :

```auto
{% if input company.custom.keuzes.verhoging|"WEL"%} 

```

Shoudln’t this be :

```auto
{% if company.custom.keuzes.verhoging == "WEL" %} 

```

Also, is this the complete code? Because your IF-statement is never closed (and will cause an error if I try this code).

PS if you are new, be sure to read [this](https://community.silverfin.com/t/general-information-silverfin-templating-language-links-slides/17/7) first. The slides for workshop I are ideal for making custom texts!

To be clear:

To select options in a text, you need this input-tag:

```auto
{% input company.custom.keuzes.verhoging as:select options:"GEEN|WEL" %} 

```

That’s correct in your code.

IF you want to build an if-statement around it, you’ll leave the input-tag (you don’t need that) and use something like :

```auto
{% if company.custom.keuzes.verhoging == "WEL" %}  
Some text ... 
{% endif %}

```

good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask here! 💪
