Name_of_plan not adding to parameter

[JGoode]

Hello,

I'm trying to add the name of my project to a parameter but for some reason it doesn't fill the field?

Here is my script:

rrr=REQUEST("Name_of_plan", "", prj_name, prj_fullname, prj_path)
zx = prj_fullname
parameters zx=zx

I feel like this should just work but doesn't, Any ideas as to how to solve it?

Thanks

I don't think you can add it to a parameter value.
But there is no problem with the REQUEST and the returned values - except for prj_name - this doesn't seem to do anything.
But the returned vales for prj_fullname & prj_path work just fine in the master or any other script.

The second quote doesn't appear to me ... I wonder why ??

It can work, if you create custom autotexts, then all you have to do is to concatenate them.

As in it is blank in the post? Or that you cannot find it in the thread? It is from the GDL forum

What I want to achieve involves cutting up the name of the project to get the first 5 numbers of the project name. I have no use for it to be outputted in 2D / 3D. It’s not necessarily needing to store it as a parameter but I do need to be able to use the string (like a parameter). I don’t know if there is a way of doing so?

Use STRSUB to get just part of the fullname.

You still can't set it as a parameter, but you can use it in a TEXT2 command, or I have used this to create text files for various outputs, so they have the same name as my Archicad file.
