Hi there ∿

I’m building a gallery and want to show text with a mix of dynamic and static content, instead of just showing a the dynamic value

Eg: +Surfer Name" + {Dynamic Value}

I tried by adding a Text and Rich Text component, however it always shows the dynamic value

I tried to select Custom, however it just goes blank?

Is there a special syntax to bring in Dynamic and static content with custom option??

I looked up the help doc for [Custom Values](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/values/custom-values) and this seems to be pertaining to something else

Use a template column.

👇

> **[Template Column](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/computed-columns/template-column)**
>
> Display dynamic text that can change with the values in other columns.
