GTM: Place selected variable in the field where the cursor is instead of at the end of existing text.
This is the end goal:
{{variable 2}} {{variable 1}}
If you have a variable in a field already, e.g.
{{variable 1}}
and then you want to add a variable into the field before the existing one where your cursor is:
| {{variable 1}}
when you select the variable you want to add, GTM doesn't insert the variable where your cursor is, it places it after your existing variable, e.g.:
{{variable 1}}{{variable 2}}
It annoys the hell out of me!
Answer
That's odd - I tried to reproduce the problem and I can't. If I type {{ it expands to show the list of variables, and when I pick on it ads it where my cursor is. I was even able to brake my code by inserting a variable mid-way into another variable.
I should have been more specific. It's when I click on the lego brick and then it opens up the Variables screen and select from there. Maybe that's the answer... type {{ and select from within the drop-down.
Ok, I see what you mean now. I'm afraid this isn't something I can fix easily and it's quite a marginal use case, so I will reject this suggestion for now and continue the work on additional features.
