ConcatConst / String Layer

Concatenate (join) a string column with a constant text value. Similar to Python's string concatenation (str + str) or pandas string operations. Useful for:

  • Adding prefixes or suffixes to identifiers
  • Standardizing text formats (e.g., adding units)
  • Creating composite strings (e.g., full URLs, file paths)
  • Formatting display values

Select

column

The source column containing strings to concatenate. The column must contain string values.

Value

string

The constant string (Value) to concatenate. Examples:

  • File extension (e.g., .txt)
  • URL prefix (e.g., https://)
  • Unit suffix (e.g., kg)
  • Delimiter (e.g., -)
false

If true, adds Value before the string from Select (prefix mode). If false, adds Value after the string (suffix mode). Example: with `Value='_test':

  • false: data -> data_test
  • true: data -> _test_data

Name for the new column. If not provided, the system generates a unique name. If AsColumn matches an existing column, the existing column is replaced. The name should follow valid column naming conventions.
