[Django]-Django: check a last character in string

Karthikr’s answer is close. Ifequal is scheduled to be deprecated in future versions of Django, so you may want to use the method below. You also need to add a ‘:’ after the ‘-1’.

{% if doc.specialization.name|default:""|slice:"-1:" == "s" %}
  <h3> {{ doc.specialization.name|slice:":-1" }} </h3>
{% else %}
  <h3> {{ doc.specialization.name }} </h3>
{% endif %}

You cannot run python code in a django template. You can use a builtin filter for this:

{% ifequal doc.specialization.name|default:""|slice:"-1" "s" %}
    {# do your stuff #}
{% endifequal %}

The default is only a fallback for None values

You could even use the with tag to avoid computing the same thing multiple times

You’re better off doing this in your view code than in a template. For example:

for doc in doc_records:
    if doc.specialization.name.endswith('s'):
        doc.specialization.name = doc.specialization.name[:-1]

But don’t save the record, assuming this is just for display purposes
