What do you mean by “custom settings”? The text (which includes the ~~) needs to be written either directly in a rich text component or if you’re looking to conditionally strike out text, you can use a template column that wraps another column’s text with~~ and then you’d display the template column in a rich text component ---

Oh. Okay. What I meant by custom settings was by the custom setting for component when you don’t have to put data to a component. I did that it just return the value without a the crossout. ---

Move that `~Cross~` to the template as a custom value. Then only put `Cross` as your replacement value. Cross is the only part of the template you want to replace with a number. ---
