$auto.text().join() - Auto-changing text fields

A dynaminc field that will provide a real-time concatenation of the field values and literal strings.

Usage:

$auto.text().join(Field 1,‘ : ’,Field 2,...)

Examples:

1. A simple concatenation example between two fields

$auto.text().join(First Name,' ',Last Name)

2. Joinning a formatted $datetime field

Day: $auto.text.join('[ ',Date.format(yyyy-MM-dd),' ]')
Hour: $auto.text.join('[ ',Date.format(HH:mm),' ]')

The Date.format()element was introduced with the release of RecordM 10.0 and allows to automatically format date fields - $date, $datetime, and $time - that are used in $auto.text().join().

In addition to displaying the full date, you can also omit certain elements of the date value by passing HH:mm as an argument to Date.format(). For example, $auto.text(Date).join('[', Date.format(HH:mm), ']') will format the value of the Date field as [12:14], as shown in the example below under the Hour field.

Other possibilities:

Goal	Expression	Example
Displaying only the year	$auto.text().join('[',Date.format(yyyy),']')	[2022]
Displaying only the month	$auto.text().join('[',Date.format(MM),']')	[11]
Displaying only the day	$auto.text().join('[',Date.format(dd),']')	[02]
Displaying both the year and the month	$auto.text().join('[',Date.format(dd),']')	[2022-11]
Displaying both the month and the day	$auto.text().join('[',Date.format(MM-dd),']')	[11-02]
