[Support request] Adding a prefix to Dynamic Data

[Tom]

Hi,
I have a contact form in a Content Template.
Above the form I want to call the name of the person.
I wants it to say:

Contact: (Then have the name fill dynamically)
i.e. Contact: John Doe

I don’t see any ability to add a prefix per se. Do I have to create a two-cell table?

Let me know – and thank you!

[David]

Hi there,

you could use a table or a grid block to do that.

Or if you want to use the GP Dynamic Data options ( from the Blocks toolbar ) it has a Before Text option.
We will be integrating that feature into GB soon, and then we will deprecate the GP methods.

Thanks Dave.

I thought the Dynamic Data options would work – and tried that first. But it only seems to accept “pre-defined” data an not any text. ( elementor has an option like this that was really nice (before OR after – you just typed the text in a field an Elementor inserted
it) ).

I will try the grid options as I don’t know much about grids vs. tables. Thank you!

Theres two types of Dynamic Data, if you use the method shown here:

Then most options have the before text field.
