Variable as part of field name in expression, script and everywhere else.

Hi there,

IN script if i were to include variable as a part of fieldname

Set var1=1

i would put "test$(var1)test" to yield test1test.

IN expression

i would do the same. but however it underlines with the red line and says error in expression, BUT

it does calculate it gives the correct value despite that.

Is there a way to remove the red underline that says error in expression?

Yes, you can disable the error lines altogether in the script/expression editor

The syntax checker in both the expression and script editors is having trouble with the recognition of various advanced features. It has problems with Field names that are assembled from strings and variables, just like it has problems with recognising compact set modifier operators like *= and -=.

Don't worry, just ignore them.
