In my apex application I want to display custom application version. From the page template I see that it is using substution string APP_VERSION. I tried changing this in application properties > Difinition > Substitution String. But it is not reflecting the changes.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem ?

CodePudding user response：

The APP_VERSION is a substitution string. It cannot be overridden by a user defined substitution string. It takes the value from application properties > Definition > Name: Version.

This substitution string can be used in file url definition and as a template substitution string. It cannot be used in apps using the &P_ITEM. syntax and is not available in pl/sql as a bind variable.

I was able to solve this problem by adding application level item APP_VERSION. Added this as &APP_VERSION at field application properties > Definition > Name: Version.

In an Application Process, application level item APP_VERSION is assigned a value after reading a property in database table.
