Reflection Field
A field to reflect its entry
Description
The Reflection Field lets you define an XPath to create a new value from the XML data of other fields.
For example, if you have a section with two fields "First Name" and "Last Name", you could use a Reflection Field to create a "Full Name" field by setting its expression to {entry/first-name} {entry/last-name}.
Notes
- A lot depends on the field names provided in the formula matching your actual field names, so be careful with that.
- If you ever change the formula for an instance of the field, you'll have to re-save every entry to recalculate the field's value.
- In the Expression, anything between a set of
{}is treated as an XPath.
