Hello all, I am trying to format the Instance name field to display some of the fields in the Inbox. Here is the expression: concat (${concern_label}," on ",format-date(${incident_date},'%m-%d-%Y')," ",' ',${current_status}, " on ",format-date(${current_status_date},'%m-%d-%Y'),' ') All fields except concern_label are visible. Any idea what could be the issue? Thanks in advance!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hello all,

I am trying to format the Instance name field to display some of the fields in the Inbox.

Here is the expression:

concat (${concern_label}," on ",format-date(${incident_date},'%m-%d-%Y')," ",'',${current_status}, " on ",format-date(${current_status_date},'%m-%d-%Y'),'')

All fields except concern_label are visible. Any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about that, did you try a fresh publish?

Hard to answer without seeing more. Can you provide the XLSX file?

My first thought is that ${concern_label} simple doesn't exist when/where you expect it to.

Thanks for your help @abureaux

That calculation works if you put in in the form itself, have you tried do the calculation as a hidden field and then referencing that question in the instance name in the settings tab instead of performing the calculation in the instance name directly?

If I understand you correctly @Neal_t_k, you are suggesting that concern_label should be calculated in the form and then referenced in the instance name?

I did calculate concern_label using a jr:choice-name function from the concern field.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for your help!

No, make a hidden helper question and put "concat (${concern_label}," on ",format-date(${incident_date},'%m-%d-%Y')," ",'',${current_status}, " on ",format-date(${current_status_date},'%m-%d-%Y'),'')" as your calculation, then reference that question in your instance name.

@Neal_t_k I did what you suggested. The instance value generates correctly in the attribute table but nothing shows up as a instance name in the Inbox. Its completely blank.

@dsinha This worked for me, see attached.

@Neal_t_k I did the exact same thing. But this is what I am getting in the Inbox.

Not sure why 🙄

The republishing worked. Thanks so much @Neal_t_k!
