I have a description field for an article and from that I want to automatically create an intro.
I use the inline function substring for this. The thing is when I try to execute it it doesn´t work in the actual workflow but it does in the "Run Now" section in the Build String node.
Example of how I do it:
- Description text
- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean eget nulla vestibulum, molestie libero ac, porttitor eros. Fusce rutrum quis lorem quis imperdiet. Morbi condimentum nec lacus at aliquet.
- The function
- fn-Substring({WorkflowVariable:mtext_itemdescription},0,20)
- The output
fn-Substring(Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean eget nulla vestibulum, molestie libero ac, porttitor eros. Fusce rutrum quis lorem quis imperdiet. Morbi condimentum nec lacus at aliquet.,0,20)
- As I said, the same works in the "Run Now" section.
Can anyone help on this?
