I already know how to populate a word document template by putting plain text content control and settings its properties.

My goal is to show certain fields in the document depending on the variable

for example

Is continue? {{continue answer}} <--- these are plain text content control that will be populated
{{\if "continue answer" = true}}

content 1 : {{content 1}} <--- these are plain text content control that will be populated
content 2: {{content 2}}

{{\endif "continue answer"}}

if continue answer is false the fields wouldn't show on the word document. How am I able to achieve this?

The Populate Word Template is limited to populating the fields you have added to the template. It cannot add logic to the Word document.

David_MA that is definitely true however what can I do to my word template? Maybe there's something I can do in there

I've stumbled upon mail merging or field contents which I do not know how to utilize.

Hello @KevinGador, this forum is for providing solutions using Power Automate. There very well may be some way to do what you want within Word itself, but I don't know how. I would suggest that you post your question in the dedicated Microsoft Word forum at Word | Microsoft Community Hub. You will be more likely to get an accurate answer there if the solution offered by @AlexEncodian does not meet your needs.
