It would be nice if you could quikly test a function in a text field, or get the current time in a nice format into a subject field, or add your or someone else's notes name into a field.

Notes has a curious feature that is sometimes used by developers and advanced users.

If you compose a Memo or any sort of form that has a text field, you can test it.

In a memo form put @now in the subject then press Shift and F9 keys.

The @now will be replaced by the time and date.

Try @name([abbreviate];@username)  then press Shift F9, this will put your full notes name

in to the field, and convert it to abbreviated form.

Try:

@platform

@name([CN];@username)

@name([abbreviate];@picklist([Name]))

If you think of any more please let me know.
