    Merge fields syntax

    I have merge fields into email templates working great even with my custom tables -- mostly great, there is one issue.

    If we have two fields with similar names, let's say CustomTable.field1 and CustomTable.field10, then merge fields will never replace "field10" -- instead it replaces "field1" and appends the "0" to the end. Had I known this in advance, I would have designed my table fields otherwise -- but at this point, without going and changing everything which refers to this table field, is there a way to override this parsing through special syntax?

    Thanks,

    Philip

    Hi Phillip,

    Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any special syntax you can apply to get around this.  You'll have to change the field name.

    I'll be sure to get the team to update our documentation to make this more clear in the future.

    Sorry for any inconenience this has caused.
