Possible Bug in VBS using Property Set Data and MV-Blocks

[jtm2020hyo]

I found an problem with VBS that stop me of use Property Set Data and I can not find method to avoid. (image 3)

image 1 : In this image everything works correctly, I can use this formula to Tag my Block Object.

but when I use this in model space happen this:

image 2 : in this image everything works correctly

image 3 : In this image appears the error, in the formula "Concatenate_Name_Error" appears correctly the Tag that I wish use ("A-01"), but in the MV-Block appears something weird, appears just "-1", and I tried everything that I found in the Internet and this is the last hope to fix.

Image 4: Another error when dash minus is ahead any letter and a digit. (result is "0.000" but should be "-A01")

and this error/bug not just appears concatenating, always that a variable have value letter, dash minus/plus sign, and a number, appear this error.

How to fix this?

Interesting.  It took a while to sort out what all was going on.

I do not have a solution, but it appears as though the line feed character is causing some issues.  Oddly, when displaying the JTM_0D:.Tag_Name property value in the tag, the instance with the line feed works, but the one without it fails.

I cannot spend more time on this at the moment, but with luck I will have some time either on the weekend or next week to revisit this.  Maybe someone else can tease out what the problem is before then.  I would suggest using one or more separate properties and Attribute Definitions to display the items on a second (or third, etc.) line, but perhaps that does not work well with your anticipated work flow.

Is there a reason you need 12 name parts?  I can't even figure out what the intent of the labelling scheme is or what it should look like. If your tag had referenced the JTM-Name Property Set, it would work fine. Somehow, referencing another property set's formula is causing problems. Is there any reason that you really need the JTM_0D property set?

return [JTM-NAME:CONCATENATE_NAME_ERROR] how text ( in quotes), like this:

"[JTM-NAME:CONCATENATE_NAME_ERROR]"

Yes, and Yes.

In Electrical Plan Design, at least here in Perú, specialists ask for many info for object and something is need create many many many Labels/Text/Mv-Block to leave plot info.

In my workflow is need create the main-property_set_data and other for each ACAD object type, this because ACA and AMEP try add properties nested objects inside Block_Reference.

As mentioned @Gepaha , I could add quotes to the JTM_0D_Property, but doing that appears this another error:

Image 5: multline (left) Mv-Block have error but other are solved.

I think I could solve this with another Function to filter quotes, but this problem described in this post appear in all formulas, and not sure how should I solve this.

Good luck. My wife and I visited Peru in 2018 and loved it.  I can see the problems are having but don't have any other solutions.  Have you tried adding a checkmark for electrical devices to the applies to for JTM-Name?

I have used relatively complex formulas involving using multiline text formatting but always returning the property formula directly without involving another propertyset.

I think it is possible to avoid the problem by directly using the multiviewblock attribute JTM-NAME:CONCATENATE_NAME_ERROR without involving another propertyset.
