Removing String Identifiers from Localizable Settings
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
When you are entering the value of a setting in one of the views in InstallShield and that value is a text string that can be presented to end users, InstallShield automatically uses a string identifier for that setting. InstallShield places the string identifier in curly brackets before the string value.
If you try to delete the setting’s value, you are actually deleting the string value for the current language. In that case, the string identifier with an empty value is used for the setting.
Therefore, if you want to remove a string identifier from a localizable setting, you must replace it with a different string identifier, or add a new string identifier.
For information on replacing a string identifier, see Editing a String Entry. To learn how to create a new string identifier, see Adding a String Entry.
