Trim Text Property Values
You can use this section to trim away part of a text property value, for example a prefix or postfix. You could for example trim a ‘Basic Wall’ prefix from the building element construction type of walls.
There is a separate section in the template for trimming before copy operations and after copy operations because the order of events determines if the trim is applied to a copied value or to the original value.

|---|---|---|---|
| Object or Group [+] | Text | Name or identity key | The name or identity key of the Object Class or Group |
