Using Parse Path to Variable in Calculate Field

[JohnDavidson]

Trying to use the PPName field in calculate field, but it errors each time.

I had added %PPName% in the calculate field code box for Arcade. Is there something else I need to be able to do to be able to add this value to the fields when calculating.?

For some additional context someone had mentioned that I had not added the PPName variable as a precondition to the Calculate field. I did make that change

1. Make PPName a precondition of of the Calculate Field

2. Update the calculate field expression to be "%PPName%"

Note: In this instance using the double quote will pass the variable and make it a text field which is passed through as a defined value. You must make sure that the double quotes are used when working with a text field
