What is the string substitution for “honorific suffix”? I know how to customize display of the strings as listed in the control panel (e.g. “%first%”, “%last%”, “%middle%”), but I can’t get any combination of honorific suffix (including “%honorific_suffix%”) to display, nor can I find a list of substitution codes.

Thanks.

It is: %suffix%

Here’s the link to the docs covering the tokens:

Hope that helps!

Another location this can be found:

• Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page.
• Click the Customize button for cMap.
• The page will reload displaying the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.
• Click the Back Arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.
• Click the Advanced panel.
• The tokens can be found under the Name Format option in the help text.

I thought you might find that location helpful too since it contains the tokens for the other fields.

I discovered what is triggering the issue (“%suffix% still wasn’t working for me). Apparently the %suffix% string replacement is only recognized in in the title of a listing with the “Individual” setting checked; if the “Organization” listing type is checked, then “%suffix%” isn’t parsed inside the listing.

For example: “Individual” type displays as:
Joe Jones, MD (title)
Health Care Associates (byline)

Switched to “Organization” type, displays as:
Health Care Associates (title)
Joe Jones, %suffix% (byline)

Correct as Organizations and Family entry types names do not have a suffix.

RE: if the “Organization” listing type is checked, then “%suffix%” isn’t parsed inside the listing.

Correct.

RE: Switched to “Organization” type, displays as: … Joe Jones, %suffix% (byline)

Hmmm where are you inserting %suffix% in this case? When an entry is an Organization, there are Contact First and Last Name fields, no suffix. So it would not be supported. The supported tokens are %label%%separator% %first% %last%. These are also listed on the Template Customizer where the Name Format tokens are listed.

Hope this helps!
