Adaptive cards $when not actioned by bot framework composer in webchat or emulator

[dweeb1937]

Describe the bug

I'm using Bot Framework Composer to make a chat bot. When using an adaptive card, json elements should be conditionally hidden when the following exists
"$when": "False"
However that doesn't seem to happen in emulator or webchat.

Is this a bot framework issue?

Version

Version: 2.1.2
Electron: 8.2.4
Chrome: 80.0.3987.165
NodeJS: 12.13.0
V8: 8.0.426.27-electron.0

Browser

• [ x] Electron distribution
• Chrome
• Safari
• Firefox
• Edge

OS

• macOS
• [x ] Windows 10 pro
• Ubuntu

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create adaptive card attachment for send response.
2. Add an textblock saying Hi, and include a $when line set to false.
3. Run the bot and you'll still see Hi.
4. You can try setting value of $when to "${1==2}", "False", "false", "FALSE", it will still show.

Expected behavior

Should not see Hi.

Hi @dweeb1937 Thank you for reporting this.

Unfortunately, adaptive card templating is not yet implemented in the SDK.

Please see more info here:

• FactSet is not working $data from set property #8798
• Support for Adaptive Card Templating botframework-sdk#6477

I'm using Bot Framework Composer for chat bot development.
I am using an adaptive card (Actionset), the particular action must be hidden when the following property exists
"$when": "${showAction == true}"

but it is not working as expected in emulator or webchat. As of the below code it must display one action button but its displaying two buttons.
Please find the below code and screenshot for your reference,

#testAction_form()

"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"version": "1.3",
"$data":{
    "showAction": true
},
"body": [
    {
        "type": "ActionSet",
        "$when": "${showAction == false}",
        "actions": [
            {
                "id": "action1",
                "type": "Action.Submit",
                "title": "Action 1 processing.."
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "type": "ActionSet",
     "$when": "${showAction == true}",
        "actions": [
            {
	     "id": "action2",
                "type": "Action.Submit",
                "title": "Action 2 processing.."
            }
        ]
    }
]

Actual Result:

Expected:
It must not display the button(Action) if condition not satisfied.
