Can you use a custom property as a chart title?

Hi all,

A quick one for someone to solve.... trying to create automated charts to end out via email, and due to the way we have to do that, i want to auto populate the chart title with the contents of a custom property (reason for this is that the node name is something, but the contents of a custom property is actually more informative, so i want to have that listed instead of the interface name)

Can it be done? if i just enter $node.site, then it just displays those words in the title, where i want it to display the contents of that custom property...

anyone asked for this before? i was surprised it did not work...

cheers

Have you tried just using the variable for the custom property? e.g ${CustomProperty}

Hi toilet--

I'll mark this for the product manager and see if we can get you an answer.

I've also noticed if you try and use ${variable} variables/custom properties in a view name you get:

View name cannot contain invalid characters.
