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.

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.

Hello Paul,
