Value processor for String-type data fields

Just a small request: I would love to have value processors for String values. Suggested scope for 1st version:

  • Concatenate
  • Replace
  • Extract Substring
  • Convert to upper/lowercase

This would make it much easier to create localized apps, as any string manipulation has to be done inside a function today. A simple example for when this is useful is when making labels e.g. “Order nr: 453187”. In this case I’d want to have the “Order nr” part as a string that can be localized, and then concat it first with “:” and then with a data bound property for the order number.

Agree. I had a similar request last year about allowing the use of %s string substitution.
Support for simple (%s) string substitution

Thank you for your input! This is something we have on our roadmap:)
