John, I found it! https://one.workfront.com/s/document-item?bundleId=the-new-workfront-experience&topicId=Content%2FWorkfront_Fusion%2FFunctions%2Fstring-functions.htm&_LANG=enus

(it's toString)

Hi John,

Untested, but one common approach is to "coerce" the data type by concatenating it with an empty string (e.g. CONCAT(myNumber,""))

Regards,

Doug

Thanks, Doug. That was going to be my Plan B.

is it the same as it is for a calculation in workfront? (https://one.workfront.com/s/document-item?bundleId=the-new-workfront-experience&topicId=Content%2FReports_and_Dashboards%2FReports%2FCalc_Cstm_Data-Reports%2Fcalculated-data-expressions.html&_LANG=enus ) -- as in, can you do anything with this? I checked the functions in fusion and couldn't find anything there. You might submit a ticket and see if that was an oversight on workfront's part.

If if is, it's not obvious. I tried (string({{3.NewItemID}}) but that didn't use it as a function, it just set the variable to the literal "string({{3.NewItemID}})"

you might submit a ticket then. Seems weird that they would have a formatNumber but no formatString function.
