This is working consistently (breathe deep & knock wood), but I was
thinking, if we can write something like this in a mergefield, couldn't we
also write a left or right that works instead of an IF for each possibility?
I've got in IF for Training, Operation, Freeform and three other
possibilities as in the sample below, which makes for a pretty long string.
So, how might I go about putting a Left,1 instead so I get the first
character, even if we end up changing options in the future?
{IF{MERGEFIELD Type} = "Training""T""{IF{MERGEFIELD Type} =
"Operation""O"""}"}
