Hi @axnbl
You’ll need a do after the then

    controller hos can
      ExtraFunc : Optional (ContractId Demo)
        do
          if number == 1
          then do
            temp <- create $ Demo with signat = signat, h = h
            return (Some temp)
          else
            return None

But it will create the Demo Contract. I dont want to create it unless or until number == 1. Is there any other way to do that?

That’s exactly what @drsk’s example will do. Adding the do does no tchange the fact that it will only be created if the number is 1.

ohh okay… got it
