Delete action Confirmation Message with ()

Hi,

This might be a noob question, but I have a Delete action with a Confirmation Messsage that needs () in the text. I think I set the field to Text (T) but I get an error “Can’t find function… Update expression to avoid errors.

I tried adding “quotes”, escape characters (?) like / and single quotes.

How to put up a text with () there, please?

Tnx!

Jaco

You can try something like

CONCATENATE (“your text here”, “(“, “)”)

You may need variation based on your exact need where you wish to place () but the above can give you an idea.

Ah yes, double quotes work.

In thought I tried that, but still got an error. It is OK now.

Follow-up question:

I localized the choices Yes and No (of Confirm or Cancel) to Dutch “Nee” and “Verwijder”. However, the word Nee is in all capitals (NEE) but I set it to Nee. How does that work?

(There are certain places in my app where some column names or other words are in capitals too, while I set them with just a capital start letter…) Why is that?

Tnx

Certain words are special. Just wrap all text in quotes and you’ll be good.

Ah yes, I see. Thanks! All but two instances of certain words are fixed using quotes.

I have a calendar view where I translated Day, Week and Month to Dutch, showing as DAG, Week, Maand. So, only Day = DAG was still with capitals…:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

My input is “Dag” and it took a while (saving, syncing and reloading the webpage of the editor) to change it in the view.

However, the link for Today is all capitals (Dutch = VANDAAG) :thinking: No matter what or where I change it.
