Text favorites with an expression

Hey Youssef - Did you ever figure this one out?

Hello Paul,

Unfortunately no, I didn't figure it out.

Hi Youssef,

You cannot use expressions directly in Text Favorites, but what you can do is define Item Types that will store the value, and then use a Text Favorite to fetch this Item Type.

In sample file I created a ItemType called Short_Name that will return "133" from "AA__133".

Note : I had issues in French version when checking this just now, so I would advise to switch to EN language before creating Item Types / Text Favorites.

Hi Vincent,

This seems to do the trick, thank you.

Thanks for feedback.

For some fields, there is possibility to add a conversion factor directly in Text Favorite as explained in  https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/242143/mathematical-expressions-on-ord-civil-labels

I've not made an extensive check but I found this conversion factor available only for surfaces and volumes.
