2020 Property Form Editor

Hi all.
Is it possible to make it so that when I call the "release" value, it automatically shows the text "Good for manufacturing".
I tried several functions but couldn't find the right one .
Currently I use conditional values with a mandatory passage without internet by "watermark"

Another option is to call up a text and crop part of it by adding a code like for Autodesk Diesel expressions for example

*********************************************

Example under Autocad ( I don't know if the same method exists under Solidworks ? )   :

 Field --> Expression Diesel --> $(substr,$(getvar,ctab),1,2)

 The 1 corresponds to the 1st character
 The 2 corresponds to the number of characters to be taken into account. Here, it corresponds to the 1st and 2nd
 A $(substr,$(getvar,ctab),4,3) would take the 4th, 5th, and 6th character

Hello
The tools in the myCADtools suite can provide you with these solutions. I am thinking in particular of the SmartProperties tool, which allows:
- Concatenation of properties
- the use of rules for string selection
- the use of conditional group with drop-down menu
-etc...
All this is of course completely customizable.
Take a look at what this SmartProperties utility can do for you and take a look at all the other tools!

Thanks for the information. I wanted to find a solution with the Property Form Editor. If anyone has any tricks with the standard SolidWorks tools.

Thank you Matt.

I'll test your solution. I will keep you informed of the result.

I did a test. I think we are getting closer to the solution. In your example, Matt. the Release value turns into a Manufacturing Voucher. I'd like to display both: the word "Release" and the word "good for manufacturing", by choosing a single box in the custom properties.
