Categories and Properties Label

I am using the above ArchiCAD 20 Label to display a Keynote Code which we have prefixed our textures with (IFC text splitting is a great wee tool why don't ArchiCAD Properties have the same facility? But I digress).

My problem is it is also displaying the ID of the element that I am labelling and I can not find a way to switch it off.

In the Composite or Profile Name Label there is an option to show or hide the ID. Is it possible this option has been missed out when Graphisoft made the ArchiCAD 20 Categories and Properties Label?

How about the "Identification and Property Label 20 Label? That can display both IDs and Property values.

Thanks Laszlo, that sorted it.

Although I have to ask why did Graphisoft change the behaviour of the Categories and Properties label to always display the ID while the Identification and Property label gives you the choice?

Well, that question could only be answered by the person at GS who specified how the Label should work.
You can make a wish if you want it changed and I will forward it to GS if it get high enough support.
