Overview

In affected environments, a user may edit a node label in Maps, click TEXT > Content (+), and select a property to insert into the node text. Instead of inserting the property variable in the expected format, the web console adds an extra closing bracket at the end.

Expected behavior

A selected property should be inserted in a format similar to:

{{{Property.Name}}}

Actual behavior

The property is inserted with an extra closing bracket:

{{{Property.Name}}}}

This issue affects the formatting of the inserted Maps text property variable and can make the resulting node text appear incorrect or malformed in the editor.

Example reproduction scenario

  1. Open Maps in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.
  2. Edit an existing map or create a new map.
  3. Add a monitored node to the map.
  4. Select the node.
  5. In the right-side properties panel, expand TEXT.
  6. Click Content (+).
  7. Select any available property from the list.
  8. Observe that the inserted property variable includes an additional closing bracket (}).

Cause

This issue is caused by a product defect in the Maps text property insertion logic in SolarWinds Platform.

When a property is inserted into node text through the Content (+) picker, the generated variable is formatted incorrectly and includes one additional closing bracket.

Resolution

A fix is planned for a future release of the SolarWinds Platform. Watch this article for updates.

Workaround

Use one of the following workarounds:

  1. After inserting the property into the node text field, manually remove the extra closing bracket (}).
  2. If needed, type or correct the property variable manually in the expected format before saving.
