Hi, I’d like to something like this: String MyDisplayItem “Sometext: [%s]” However I want to use the state of another (Text-)Item instead of “Sometext”. Is that possible?

Thanks for the reply. That’s what I expected. I’ll probably stick with the template approach using a rule. However the formatting is what I have to deal with. I did like the separation between the description and the actual value. The rule is working, now onto the formatting.

BTW:
Reading your code, I figured (or beter learned) that “visibility” can not be used on charts only. That solves my other question
