Orbeon : Show in Email Subject settings

Question

I have checked Show in Email Subject checkbox from settings, to add that value in Email Subject.

I want to contact this with other control's value too. so I did the same , check Show in Email Subject checkbox.

but now in email subject it is concatenating these value with ","

ex:

control 1 : projectNum

control 2: projectName

control 3: city

Email subject should be: projectNum - projectName - city

But it is displaying comma separated values. how to change it with other separator like "-" or ":"?

Thanks .

Answer 1

You are seeing a coma used as a separator because the relevant code in email-form.xpl does a string-join(…, ', '). If you want another separator to be used, you can either:

• Change email-form.xpl to always use that other separator.
• In your form, create another field, which is:
  1. calculated as a string-join() of the fields you want to show in the title using the separator you want;
  2. not visible to users, e.g. visibility set to false();
  3. the only field marked as showing in the email subject.
