Hi

I have a right sidebar with the track information. In it, I display the name of the artist in blue.
But when the artist field has multiple artists, only the first one is colored blue. the rest is white.
Important to know is this only happens when I use a virtual tag to select the artists name.
The formula for my virtual tag is $If(<Composer>!="",<Composer>,<Artist>).
If I put the artist field or even the formula directly in the panel settings, It works correctly.
So I see https://www.mediafire.com/view/s7qthr107p2x96x/B1-Error.png
and it should be https://www.mediafire.com/view/0og9rj4nva3fa44/B1-Correct.png/file.

(I tried to embed the pictures, but was unable to get a correct link. Or at least I didn't see anything in the preview window.)

I thought I had the latest version, but apparently not.
Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem.

virtual tag markup is only fully supported when a field value is not split. I doubt i would add support for when the field is split into separate lines due to the complexity it involves

OK, I can understand that. I've replaced my virtual tag with the formula behind it and that works so although not ideal I have a working workaround.
