String length Formatter?

[mebeingken]

Is there a string length formatter in app connect? Word count yes, but not finding a way to get character count. I must be missing!

I tried this the other day, added in .length() and .count() in the code and couldnt get it working. It’s something I would love too

.length is without ()

.length is discussed in this thread

George, that would be a very useful feature to add. If you your team could add that under …>Data Formats>Analyze> it would be fantastic.
