In Template expressions, it is possible to utilize Picklist Descriptions within certain expressions.

This is possible using the syntax:

[Group.Header.Description]

For example, here we will concatenate the full Sample Type Description with the Sample Reference:

concatenatewith(
  '-'
  [SampleInformation.Type.Description],
  [SampleInformation.SampleReference]
)

Limitations

The [Group.Header.Description] syntax has some limitations:

• It is not supported in Model Calculation expressions or other Expression Engines besides Template expressions.
• Within Templates, the [Group.Header.Description] syntax is not supported in Aggregate Expressions. For example, it is not possible to use an expression like:

joinDistinct([AggregateAll.SampleInformation.Type.Description],'','+')

• The [Group.Header.Description] is also not supported in expressions used within Tables.
