Custom Expression adds to thing name, prevent?

[risner]

If I have a custom expression blah with "All Picks on Hero", when something is chosen it changes from (Choose) to what was chosen.

How can I prevent that? So it doesn't display the chosen item?

I don't understand exactly what you are asking. If you choose something, you do not want it to show what you choose?

Hmm

I have a "gear" called Bags on a Minion.
You choose a minion when it is selected.

So now it shows as:
Bags on a Minion (3 @ 7.5 lbs) (Animal Companion) -> Happy

Happy is the AC's name.

I'm looking to dump the "Animal Companion" that is auto added and change it from "Bags on a Minion" to "Bags on Happy" but the first step is to get it to not show "(Animal Companion)" at the end.

Sorry I thought I knew as I did something similar for the Race Builder Playtest addon I created. But that was specifically a tag that prevented the name of a Bootstrapped ability from appending on to the name. I tested and it does nothing for the Chosen thing in a custom expression.

If you go to a timing of Render/999000 and change the Livename field you can at that point change the name to anything you want. So you could change the name at that point to remove the extra wording. Hopefully that helps some..
