ReplyTo property
Special value available in formulas:
Item
The button this property is part of, enabling multiple checked items in the app designer to share the same formula and be updated all at once.
Consider the fields Field1 and Field2, which should
only be considered to be valid if their values are
greater than 4. Without using the Item value, the Valid
property of Field1 would need to use the formula Field1 > 4Field1 > 4 and the Valid
property of Field2 would need to use the formula Field2 > 4Field2 > 4.
Using Item, both formulas can read Item > 4Item > 4. This is useful
if you have many fields and you want to be able to update their
formulas all at once. To do so, click their check boxes in Calcapp
Creator and make sure that a checked field is selected. Then, when you
update a formula for one checked field, you update all the other
checked fields too, which is a great timesaver.
Use Item in exactly the same way you'd use the regular
name. Button1.VisibleButton1,Visible and Item.VisibleItem,Visible are equivalent, for
instance.
The Reply-To field of the email. When an email is sent without a
Reply-To field, the recipient is asked to reply to the address
indicated by the Sender field (which can be set through the
Sender property). The
Reply-To field may be used to change this behavior, enabling
email to be sent from one address while replies are directed to the address
indicated by the Reply-To field.
The default sender uses the calcapp.net domain. Using a
calcapp.net sender increases the odds that an email sent through
Calcapp is successfully delivered and is not classified as spam. Consider
using this property instead of the Sender property to
direct replies to your reports.

Entering formulas in the inspector
If you use the inspector to enter a value for this property, you can
incorporate formulas by enclosing them within {{ and
}} markers.
Behind the scenes, Calcapp converts an inspector value with formulas to a single traditional formula. You can view this formula, or edit it directly, by selecting the ReplyTo property from the drop-down menu next to the formula bar.
The examples on this page use traditional formulas, where text strings and
other values are joined together using &. To enter them in the
inspector, be sure to enclose them within {{ and }}
markers. Alternatively, enter them in the formula bar.
Example
Sets the Reply-To field of an email sent through an email
report button to "support@example.com" if "I need help" has been selected
from the text drop-down field Inquiry. Otherwise, the
Reply-To field is set to "info@example.com".
