When creating a Content Link the display name does not show the value only the word you typed in the display name field.

{  
link: ‘specifications’,  
display: ‘number’,  
}

When leaving the field empty it shows the id.

It should be ${data.number} , missing in documentation

example :

What about field sets? I want to display the content of the field called “favourite-thing”. Putting ${data.favourite-thing} in the Display field returns “n/a” in the form.

In general I wouldn’t recommend to use kebab-case for field names but instead camel case: favouriteThing

But regarding your issue, this should work:

`${data['favourite-thing']}`

Hi @artur  
Thank you very much for your quick answer! This does indeed work 😃

Just for future visitors:

If the field name is named with kebab case the solution is: `${data['favourite-thing']}`.  
If the field name is named with camel case the solution is: `${data.favouriteThing}`

I’ve added your recommendation of using camel case for field names to the docs: [Comparing Cockpit-HQ:main...tsch0hnny:patch-1 · Cockpit-HQ/docs · GitHub](https://github.com/Cockpit-HQ/docs/compare/main...tsch0hnny:docs:patch-1)

I’ve also updated the section “Set of fields” with the above: [Comparing Cockpit-HQ:main...tsch0hnny:patch-2 · Cockpit-HQ/docs · GitHub](https://github.com/Cockpit-HQ/docs/compare/main...tsch0hnny:docs:patch-2)

I’m new to contributing to docs, so please let me know if there’s a better location and/or wording.
