Adding variable text to short description on record producer

[riskay123]

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to add text to the short description on a record producer. It is a combination of some static text and the value of a a variable on the record producer and I am having a bit of trouble.

The short description should display "Printer Fault" + the value of a variable. 

The variable name in this example is "machine_number"

I have added a script current.short_description = "Printer Fault - " + current.variables.machine_number;

When the record is created the short description display "Printer Fault - undefined".

Can someone please tell me what is wrong here?

Thanks

Hi,

Assuming you are passing above in record producer script you need to replace current with producer. So,

current.short_description = "Printer Fault - " + current.variables.machine_number; 

should be

current.short_description = "Printer Fault - " + producer.machine_number;

Thank you.

And you can get the text (display value) with the following code:

current.short_description = "Printer Fault - " + producer.machine_number.getDisplayValue();
