Re: Text With Variables Disappear in Action List

I changed the other item to text and not a number. That did show in the variable fields to be used. I tested this "simple" process and it did work!!!
I have one number and one text. Thank you all for your input and guidance. I do believe this may be an oversight or bug with Switch.

Re: Text With Variables Disappear in Action List

It is the "pages starting from page" field. When I select that field then the variables are not available as if they can only be used once. I understand what you are stating. How do I determine what the variable type should be?

Re: Format Date when it is Private Data

The data is coming out of tab delimited file and split through the ASI List Magic App. This becomes private data. Switch does not see this as a date in its current form. That is when I realized I could go about this a different way and I figured out a fix. I used string splitter to create new privat...

Re: Format Date when it is Private Data

I did try the date calculator app. That will not work as the date must be yyyy-MM-dd or it will fail.

I have the app for string replacement. I am struggling to understand the setup of the app. The instructions are not clear to me.
