Templatized String Parameters
...
When a template refers to a selection control such as a dropdown, radio or checkbox, the selected option label will show in the form/workflow's run-time UI. So, a selection control template used in a message control or the label of another control will display the selected option label. However, when the template is used in form/workflow settings, such as a Form Action, Pending Message, or Doc Action Email, the template will display the option value. In this example we have a dropdown control named "dd" with options a=apples, b=bananas, c=carrots. Another control's label has the template {dd} and the message control also uses the template {dd}.
At run time, the template displays the selected option label in the UI. Notice that the user sees "apples" in both the text control's label and in the message. If Save Value is checked on the message, the value passed will be "You selected apples", retaining the dropdown template's label in the message control's value.
We've also used the template {dd} to name the Form Settings to display a Form Action Message, set the PDF Name, and in the Email subject line.
...
Each of these uses will return the selection option value for the template. Notice instead of "apples" the template displays "a".
Form Action:
PDF Name:
Email Subject:

If you need to use the selected option's label in such cases, consider using a business rule like this example to get the option label and set it in a hidden control. Then use the hidden control's template in the form/workflow settings. |

Template Validation
Template references used in will in frevvo will be automatically validated when:
...
The Guided Designer editing mode icons will have a red '!' indicating a validation error. Workflow steps with validation error appear with a pink/salmon background.
Any control that has a templatized property error will show an error message below it (red text on gold background).
If there are form/workflow/workflow step templatized property validation errors present, then when the designer opens the corresponding properties dialog, all properties on all tabs are immediately validated. Any tab containing an error will be displayed in red text.
