*You can use math modifiers with other column values by inputting the column name without double curly brackets.

Stacking Modifiers

Each modifier you add will run off of the previous modifier's output. You can stack multiple modifiers together to create a formula. Below is an example of stacked modifiers which will output a percent value between price and sale_price:

Breakdown

The main column being linked here is price. From there, we're subtracting the field sale_price. Then we're dividing the output by the price field again. This gives us a fraction which we'll want to turn into an integer. So we multiply this output by 100. The output will give us a value with two decimals. Two strip these, we take this output and set the numerical modifier.

Modifiers can also be added to templated text assets to add additional text outside of the formula templated text assets to add additional text outside of the formula.
