Advanced field mapping symbols
Combined field mapping symbols for piping
Field mapping symbols can be combined to form long strings of custom content by following this syntax:
[*(SEPARATOR) SYMBOL1 SYMBOL2 SYMBOL3 SYMBOL4 ...]
For more information on default piping/field mapping symbols, see Default piping/field mapping symbols.
NOTE
- Do not add a space between the asterisk [*] and the left parentheses [(].
- Previewing the result of piping symbols will display an empty set of parenthesis or the symbol names. This is because the preview does not pull or compile data; only a published project can perform that task.
- Enter all piping code on one line (i.e. don't press enter anywhere in the code being used).

BEST PRACTICE
It is recommended to use the text editor in source code mode for content using combined piping symbols and HTML formatting.
NOTE
Avoid using the WYSIWYG editor on content that uses more complex HTML code because the editor may strip some of the code that makes field mapping work. This is because the editor follows strict HTML5 code syntax, and Blue field mapping symbols do not necessarily follow that syntax.
