My memory is failing me. I need to get part of the repository name in a source template. I guessed {%SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF>%} or {%SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF.NAME>%} would do the trick. But FH thinks differently. What am I missing?

Simply use {ArChief} or whatever by using the << Add > Add Field Code option in the Source Template Definition Editor.

I would like to, but MidText({Archief},3) didn't work.

I can get to the Custom id using {%SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF>REFN%}. But now I need part of the name.

Ah! You forgot to mention that you wanted to apply a function to the Repository Name.

The clue is in your Custom Id data reference %SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF>REFN%
So the Repository Name data reference is %SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF>NAME%
To use a function it must be enclosed in the curly brackets like this where the equals prefix is crucial:
{=MidText(%SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF>NAME%,3)}

Thanks Mike!

Actually {=MidText(%SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF%,3)} works just as well because %SOUR.~RP-ARCHIEF% defaults to the Name.
