Substitution strings in labels are not used in validation messages

OPRMay 13 2018 — edited May 25 2018

Hi gurus

In my application items labels are dynamic, so in item settings I do not put words Start Date in label box, I use &DATE_LABEL. instead.

In a BEFORE HEADER process I set DATE_LABEL item value to Start Date text (or any other appropiate read from a table).

The item (a date picker) and its label are rendering OK, but if automatic validation finds an error, shows the message &DATE_LABEL. is ...(whatever error) instead of Start Date is ...(whatever error)

So substitution strings in labels works for rendering but not for validation messages.

Is there a solution or workaround?

Thanks in advance

Oscar
