Description

Substitution variables provide powerful capabilities to customize. These variables provide text string representations of fields useful for inclusion in other fields and you can:

  • Set field values from other existing fields and custom field values.

  • Construct conditioning values.

The syntax for referencing substitution variables is: %<variable name>%. All text entry fields support replacement. 

Example: %parent_summary%

Configured date format

For date substitution variables, the format of the replacement variable can be specified if the default format is not desirable. The format is specified by a Simple Date Format string enclosed in parenthesis following the substitution variable name. For example: %created(yyyy-MM-dd)% will result in replacement like 2013-05-28.
