I've had play with this before and this is the bit I am trying to achieve but can't get it to work. I know how to store the market name but after that I have no clue what to do. Do I need another rule?Dallas wrote: ↑Wed Jul 16, 2025 5:35 pmYou'll need to use a Set/Modify Stored Value' rule and store a value as text

From there you can store the market name and have a lot more options over which parts you want.
Once you've done that you just need the custom column to look for the stored value name you gave it

This gets you the whole thing stored as a stored value called "market name" stored at market level.
You can truncate as you wish using the options in the stored values tab.

Depending on your set-up, you might well find it easier to have all your different rules in one single rulesfile, then use text conditions so only the relevant bits of the rule trigger on the relevant races.

Couldn't figure out how to truncate it using a single rule, (it might be possible, I don't know this area very well).
But here's a workaround that does it using three lines. Creates a stored value called "market name" which contains only the info you require.

This is the outcome. Also you didn't have shared boxed ticked. I appreciate any further input.

Perhaps you're not looking up the correct SV in your custom column?

Tried it again without any changes and it worked. So not sure what happened.

Do the reverse of what I did before. Make an SV = the first two words of the market name, and if any numerical value remains then make the SV = only the first name.
But do you need to? The only other "down" is Downpatrick but that is all one word, so "down" will always = Down Royal.
Can you not just use Venue Name?
This is from v1 of my Horse Racing Data Capture Automation : ... and how it looks in the recorded file (for Market Details): I'm assuming this will work in the columns as well, but not tried it.
