Hi
Is it possible to combine 2 text values within one dual field?
I have got a resident table with two fields 'RussianMedia', 'English Media'.
Is it possible on the backfront to create a dual field 'Media' which has both Russian and a corresponding English value (instead of the two fields)?
How can I refer to it on the forefront?
Thank you in advance,
Larisa
I don't think so. Dual() contains a numeric value and it's string-representation like:
dual(string, numeric)
If you want match both values into one field it would be better to concat both like:
'russian value' & '|' & 'englisch value' as match
and grab then the needed value with subfield(match, '|', 1).

Please post some example so that we can see what is your expected result...

It's a nice idea. Thenk you!
Seems like you want to create something in the context of a multi-language application, right?
