Variables applying themselves in the IPTC Stationary Pad.

[Chrish_Photos]

I have the following code in my Description panel, which works perfectly.

\{featuredorgcode}\ during the {event} held at {location} in {city} in the {state} of {country} on \{iptcday0}\ {iptcmonthname}{iptcyear4}

However, if I change the default replacement text to read 'An athlete', the code auto changes to the below.

\{featuredorgcode}An Athlete{iptcday0}\ {iptcmonthname}{iptcyear4}.

There are two variables enclosed with \\. Removing either of them solves the problem.

As background to what I am trying to achieve

I'm putting the bib number into the Org.code field as a number. I am going to use this number when I save the images to modify the file name. It also saves me typing the double \\ on either side of the number.

I'm using the persons shown field with \{featuredorgcode}\ to convert the bib number to a name, and again in the Description to get the name in there.

I'd really appreciate your help.

But you broke it in the best way possible, by finding a bug that got squashed!
