Re: [BUG] Substitute On Refresh
You just won't be able to use anything that doesn't yet "exist" when the MeasureName option is created on the meter.

Re: [BUG] Substitute On Refresh
Got it. Ok, will try a few things to workaround the 2 issues I have (this one and the variable resulted from a formula in a regex quantifier one) and will let you know how that goes.

Re: [NOT A BUG] Substitute On Refresh
Yep, solved the thing: applied the recommended ^0$ substitute and created a separate measure for the value used in the regex quantifier (previously I tried to "merge" two measures into one to save space, but it's better this way). In other occasions when I could notice this issue I probably failed to do it also because I use a lot numbering from 0 (and not 1) and employ the "(?:^$|^0$)":"SomeDefaultString" intensively. In other words, I usually already apply your workaround, but for other reasons and without knowing what happens if I don't. Now I found out, simply because due to the circumstances, I dealt with values different from 0 in the substitute at refresh time.
Thanks for the guidance - much appreciated.
