DisplayFormat of the SystemVariable with copy numbers

edited February 2011 in General
Hello,

could it be, that the DisplayFormat of a SystemVariable, which shall show
the number of the current copy, can't be set or isn't working?

No matter to what I set it, I see only the number all the time.

I've also tried to palce a label in front of it, but somehow I can't figure
out, when I shall make the label visible... Depending on the visibility of
the SystemVariable (seems to be always true) or on it's content (Text?,
Value?)

As result I would like to have something like "Copy no.: X".

Regards,
Mark

    A small addition:
    I've seen both WiKi articles about that topic, but wanted to get it working
    with that SystemVariable, i.e. without global variables etc.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for pointing this out. I created a patch for RB 12.04 that alters
    the CopyNo option to honor the DisplayFormat property when more than one
    copy is printed. Contact support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the
    patch.
