Title: How to remove member description from value prompt
Post by: MikeG on 31 Mar 2015 08:01:39 AM
I bet this has been covered many times but when I googled it the only solution advised was a bit of javascript that didn;t work

  I have a level REGION that contains Members uk, eu, ap and a member description attribute that provides a longer description

I create a value prompt using the member description part of the REGION and I get

                                   Member description
                                   ----------------------

                                   United kingdom
                                   Europe
                                   Asia Pacific

Does anyone know how I can change the name Member description in the prompt box to something more user friendly

When you click on the value prompt in your prompt page, you should see various options at the bottom of the Properties panel. I can't remember off the top of my head which one to change, but have an experiment and you should find the one you need.

Yep - you got it spot-on, Chris. It's the "Header Text" property that needs to be changed.

Cheers!
