I am placing an if-then-else statement within a data display in my form, for example if the responsible provider is Dr. John Metz then "TEAM RED", is there a way to have that TEAM RED value push to an observation term without any manual entry?

Yes, the syntax is

OBSNOW(obsterm,value, date[optional])

so

OBSNOW("WEIGHT","160")

or

OBSNOW("PAINCNTRCT_Y","Signed by Patient","12/10/2000")

You probably want -

{!if DOCUMENT.PROVIDER == "John Metz" then

OBSNOW("TEAM_NAME","Team Red")

else if .....

...

endif}

where TEAM_NAME is the name of the observation you are using.

You need to be in an active update to save an observation, in the banner you would just want something like -

{!if DOCUMENT.PROVIDER == "John Metz" then

"Team Red"

else if …..

…

endif}
