Has "LINEn" been removed?

Post by DanAtMPL »

In a Notary section of my doc, I'm trying to have lines for the State and County.

Here's what I currently have:

Code: Select all

State of {{Order.Acknowledgment.State LSTATE}}
County of _______________
It works quite well, but that's probably because my file template is set to include the state abbreviation in the "Notary & Acknowledgement" section. Not all paralegals in my company use that. For those who don't, they end up with just a blue box there, so I tried amending the code to this:

Code: Select all

State of {{Order.Acknowledgment.State LSTATE LINE15}}
...to no effect. I even tried removing the "LSTATE" thinking that only 1 format modifier can be used, but that didn't resolve the issue either.

Am I using this incorrectly? Or has the "LINEn" formatter been removed? Is there something else at play here?

Which version of Select are you using?

When I go to install it, I use v4.3.31. Within SP, in the "About Select" section, it shows 4.3.60210.87.

Wayne from the Document department has supplied this answer:

The LINEn formatting will only work on OBJECTS within the field code browser. In other words, any field represented by this symbol in the field code browser:
Object.jpg
Object.jpg (1.37 KiB) Viewed 3101 times
The "State" node in the field {{Order.Acknowledgment.State}} is not an object (as shown in the picture below)…you must add one additional node to reach the object description {{Order.Acknowledgment.State.Description}}:
State.jpg
State.jpg (11.3 KiB) Viewed 3101 times
This node (which was added to the Order model somewhat recently, maybe 3-4 years ago) also no longer requires the LSTATE field code formatter to display the long state name.

So, bottom line, this field with the LINEn field code formatter {{Order.Acknowledgment.State.Description LINE15}} should solve the problem.

Ahhhhhhh. As someone who was never much into programming, and only muddled through with the help of the Field Code Browser.. that all now makes some sense.

Thank you!
