Parse out text in Weblink details pane

asked on March 10

Hello,

I was asked this by our Records Management department, and I don't think it's possible but thought I would ask. The subject field for this resolution is incredibly long and there is boilerplate in that field for all of our resolutions and ordinances. The ask is basically if we can have "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA," parsed out so that only what is unique to that resolution is shown in the details pane. 

I think the only way to accomplish this would be to create a secondary field and copy over the truncated text to that new field, and display that instead. But I was curious if anyone new of any alternative. Thanks in advance!

Exactly the solution. Run a workflow to find all of these entries. Then, for each entry: isolate the text (likely using regex) and update the new field with that text.
