What is says on the tin, really...

I wan't to copy the "comments" field to the "title" field, but add what the comments say to the title field in front of what is already there, rather than replacing it.

"Add before", "add after" or "replace" radio buttons before the "only copy" checkboxes would seem to be a neat solution.

Alternatively, in Remove & Replace, the option to choose a field or property as a source, as an alternative to typing something in.

But I'm sure you have a better idea. 😎

Let me know if you didn't get the detailed reply. For some reason, my reply was not saved.

I did! It was very confusing, as I got an email (that fortunately contained the entire message) & was able implement it.

I came on here to extend my thanks & there was no message so I just decided to wait for the system to catch up, assuming it was just a glitch in the matrix. It wasn't until I received your later message that I got up to speed,

In any case, many thanks. Being me, it took me a minute to twig that the "context menu" was a right click (& I was prepending) but it worked a treat!

I had already adjusted the comments section to include the requited "colon-space" but it's good to know that can be done here, too.

I'm trying to reply with the instructions & screenshot from your original reply, but the board is just not showing it! (I've tried twice now. Will try again later.)

Something is broken internally with this thread. Anything with an image is not being added to it.

The forum is very old and is hanging on by a thread. 🙁

BTW: You can add anything you want to the Set panel. Unless you wanted a colon space inside the Comments, you could have done the entire thing in the Set. Whatever is in the text field gets set ... and you have all the escape sequences on the context menu ... right click 🙂
