Is it possible to do math with custom field values?

Esther Pomeleo-Fowler

Question

Does an option exist to create statements such as:

"Your gift of $25 could be increased to $50 or even $100 over time."

where $25 is a value pulled from Cons360 (custom_string5).

Response

"Your gift of $] could be increased to

$] 2 *]] or even

$] 4 *]] over time."

One caution here, custom_string5 is a string not a number - it is possible that you could put a non-number into this field some day which would break this solution.
