I have a custom dropdown field that has the following format:
Model - Inventory Number
Example: Model1 - 141
I want to use liquid markup to keep the model number but remove the hyphen and the inventory number. I've tried various strategies, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for the suggestion, Dave! I saw that article and I've been trying to use the split: option, but I can't get it to work. Also, the use case in the article had to do with nesting, which is similar to my use case, but my values aren't nested. I was hoping I could make it work, but no joy. Still hoping someone has a solution.
Hi Alex,
I believe something like the below should work for your example:
{{ticket.ticket_field_ | split:" -" | first }}
Hope that helps.
Hey Jacob,
That worked! I was close to the same solution but I was using " - ", instead of " -", which made all the difference. Additionally, being a dropdown, I had to modify your solution slightly.
{{ticket.ticket_field_option_title_ | split:" -" | first }}
Either way. Thanks for the help!
Glad you got it working! 👍

If you're wanting to use Liquid Markup to remove those characters in email output, it looks like you should be able to use the split: option in Liquid – here's an example that removes part of a placeholder's text based on a double colon: How can I format placeholders with liquid markup?
