#Brain melt with placeholders and how they work

I am using ItsMyConfig to display two different strings dependent on whether the user is bedrock or java. As shown here:

custom-placeholder:
  glyph-playerprefix:
    value: 'b' # show this if viewer passed requirements
    requirements:
      isjava:
        type: "string equals ignorecolor "
        input: "%player_displayname%" 
        output: ".%player_displayname%"
        deny: "j<glyph:player>" # if viewer did not pass requirements show this (if viewer is java)

So I want to display value: if the user passes requirements. I want to display deny: if the user does not pass requirements.
I need some input that can parse the user, see if they're bedrock or not and if so display value: if bedrock or deny: if java.

What placeholder(s) could I use? I need some way to parse it for the viewer only, as for example, I don't want playerprefix to show value: to the target (bedrock) and value: to the viewer (java) and vice versa.
I thought maybe using utils_parseother:[name]_placeholder. I thought maybe just checking if player's displayname has a dot or not, but that doesn't seem like it'll work either.
So, what I'm getting at is how can I do something like this? Is anyone familiar enough to know what placeholders I could try to do this. I could use floodgate_isbedrock to see if it returns false or true but I still don't know how to handle the viewer / target thing.
If anyone has ideas or suggestions on easier ways to do this that'd be great.

Like in chat with luckperms I wouldn't want it to parse the player, see they are java and display deny (j<glyph:player>) then on bedrock have them, the viewer, see that output rather than value:
I thought maybe this is something to do with relational placeholders? But I really don't know how those work either or what is available to do something like this.

maybe explained better:

  glyph-playerprefix:
    value: '<glyph:player>' # if java show this
    requirements:
      isjava:
        type: "string equals ignorecolor "
        input: "%utils_parseplaceholder:player_floodgate_isbedrock%"  # return player and whether they're bedrock
        output: "false" # if not bedrock return `value: '<glyph_player>'
        deny: "" # if bedrock (if output was true for them) return `deny: ""`
        # current problem with this setup is that it's not doing so for the VIEWER, so when a bedrock player is on their chat prefix will show the "deny" output and java players will see that on the bedrock user.

So you shouldn't need to do anything using relational or utils expansion.

#

At most you might want to use the ChangeOutput expansion to show something for bedrock players and something else for java players

#

Something like this maybe:

%changeoutput_ignorecolor_input:{player_floodgate_isbedrock}_matcher:false_ifmatch:<glyph:player>_else:%
