Spouses' LifeDates in Family Group Sheets

I would like to include the spouses' life dates into a custom version of the Family Group Sheet.
I managed to get the following into the 'Family Member Main Items' section of the Report Options, Contents tab:
with %INDI.~SPOU[1]>NAME[1]%, %INDI.FAMS[1]>MARR[1].DATE%, %INDI.FAMS[1]>MARR[1].PLAC%
Which results in an entry like this, for example in the section for John Miller:
Marriage: with Jane Doe, 1 April 1777, Munich
Now I would also like to give Jane Doe's life dates, but still in the section for John Miller:
Marriage: with Jane Doe (1750-1780), 1 April 1777, Munich

It should be something with =LifeDates(), but I don't know how to refer to the spouse here, i.e. what should be given in the brackets.
=LifeDates(%INDI.~SPOU[1]%) doesn't work.

Anyone has an idea??

You're right!

The correct term is:
=LifeDates(%INDI.~SPOU[1]>%)

Thanks so much
