have a page with numerous tabs, and five of the tab labels are based on formulas that concatenate text and the value of a field. If there is no record in the model containing the fields, the font of the label is italics and an ugly yellow. How do I change that without creating a record in that model?
You can suppress the tab with a rendering rule: where model has no data rows. Or did you want to change the text color?
don’t want to suppress the tab, just have the tab labels consistent color
Okay. I’m not clear what you are doing here, as I get different results. If I have no data in IdentityVerification, I get a blank label. If the concatenation formula is part of the tab label, you haven’t shown it: where do “Deal Room” and “Credit Summary” come from?
That said, you might look at the conditional form of merge syntax, something like this:
{{#$Model.NewModel.data.0.NewField}}Has data {{$Model.NewModel.data.0.NewField}}{{/$Model.NewModel.data.0.NewField}}{{^$Model.NewModel.data.0.NewField}}No Data {{/$Model.NewModel.data.0.NewField}}
When NewModel does not have data rows, the tab label would be “No Data.”
[
My NewField is a UI-only formula field, where the formula is:
"Name = "+{{Name}}
When there is a data row (from the User table, id is user), the tab label is “Has data Name = Mike Dwyer.”

What version of Skuid are you running on? We ran into problems with yellow edited text a few months ago. It should be good within the last 5-6 versions of Skuid
yes, I have UI-only fields on the model like - COMBINE_STRINGS("Deal Room ",{{Deal_room_Verification_Flag__c}})
on the tab itself, the label is {{$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}
skuid 9.5.14
We would recommend upgrading past 11.2.5
so tried this in the tab label -
{{#$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}Has data {{$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}{{/$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}{{^$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}Deal Room {{/$Model.IdentityVerification.data.0.DealRoomPass}}
and resulting tab reads Has Data Deal Room (still in yellow)
I’ve played around with this functioanlity and still can’t get it. Even put that merge logic into the UI field formula itself and still can’t get it…
Hi Brian, if you’re seeing the font in italics and yellow, that normally indicates an unsaved field value. Can you try enclosing the fields in triple mustaches instead of double mustaches?
Wow, that did it! Thanks!
Great! Just to explain why I think this works - the triple mustaches will display only the raw value of the field, and ignore any metadata for the rendering. In this case, the field value was unsaved, and that metadata information was being used for the rendering with double mustaches, but skipped for triple mustaches.
appreciate the follow up, as that really helps me
