Substitutable strings for symbol text and notes

Certain strings, preceded by an ampersand “&”, will be filled with actual numbers or text when displayed.

Use substitutable text strings as symbol text to show column text, duration, used duration, remaining duration, amount ahead/behind schedule, baseline duration, percent complete and the value of a symbol ValueSet.

For example, if "&col1" is entered in the symbol text slot, that command is replaced by the text in column 1 for that task row. If  "&vs1" is entered in the symbol text slot, that command is replaced by the ValueSet 1 value for that symbol.
