If the handle column has the persons name then it is doing what it says. If you always want your name just type in your name in the template instead of Me. ---

Then you have to have them send the message from a page that has the information on it. Check out the tutorials and or posts that talk about setting up a profiles page based on the logged in user. Once you have that set up then the sending of the message would need to be on that page with visibility to the column that has their name in it. ---

@Robert_Petitto template column doesn’t include rollup column. My one sheet keeping FlatId and Name. Now data entry sheet is having FlatId and I have made one rollup column with name. Now want to make one column FlatId - Name, which will be used for display purpose. Template replacement fields does not consider the rollup column. Please suggest how to achieve that inside glideapps. ---

I was able to include that value from a rollup column in a template column, but I’m not sure how you got a name in a rollup column. The rollup column mostly calculates numeric values. ---

Sorry, that was a typo error, I am talking about Lookup column. I have used lookup column to bring name from other sheet but unable to join that text through template column. I had to use formula in spreadsheet. ---

Is your relation set to Multiple? If so, that will turn your lookup into an array and arrays can’t be used for things that only accept a single value. You need to uncheck the multiple checkbox in your relation. ---
