iamdar, Here is a link to some documentation that may help you more generally at this phase of your learing, https://anthonymuscio.github.io/#Standard%20Nomenclature
Its an updated version of something published by Tobias in the past. In particular look at the foot notes about values in parameters widget and HTML, it shows why any "concatenation" to make compound values needs to be done, as ewrioc says the best way without making custom macros and wikifying them is to use the filtered transclusions. With these you use a filter inside triple curly braces to generate the value (no need for an intermediate variable) and filters permit variables, transclusions and field content to be concatinated. Also, As someone in the learning phase please do feedback if you need something clarified or added to my document as you have the insight to what is needed during the learning process, unfortunately I now know too much. You can help other that pass this way in the future. Regards Tones On Thursday, 10 June 2021 at 04:37:15 UTC+10 [email protected] wrote: > Thank you so much Eric! Really thank you so much!
