Problem displaying related records properly in Workflow Email attachment

The main table โ€œServiceLogโ€ has โ€œRelated EstimateItemsโ€ virtual column (REF) to records in the table โ€œEstimateItemsโ€ which has a column named โ€œServiceLogโ€ which is (REF).
This works well within the app, however, I am unable to display the 'Related EstimateItems" properly in a workflow email attachment (PDF) using a Google Docs template. I need each related record (for ServiceLog 10637) to display one line per record in the attachment, similar to :

Description , Quantity , Amount
Item 1 10637 , 1.00 , $29.78
Item 2 10637 , 5.00 , $12.50
Item 3 10637 , 1.00 , $296.20

EstimateItems table :

Template expression :

<<Start:EstimateItems[ServiceLog]>> <<EstimateItems[Description]>> <<End>>

( the last section is showing <> instead of the word END between << and >> )

Result : 3X_1_6_16958e140657f27fd5abc3516abdadcb8738332d.png

From where you are trying to trigger the workflow? From the parent (ServiceLog) of from the child (EstimateItems)?

From the parent โ€œServiceLogโ€.
While editing record 10637 in the ServiceLog form, upon saving the record, a workflow will be triggered and send an email with attachment. I would like for the 'Related ExpenseItems" records to be included on the attachment.

Do I need to provide more information ?

Your template should look something like this:

  • <<Start: [Related EstimateItems]>><<[Description]>>
    
  • <<[Quantity]>>
    
  • <<[Amount]>><<End>>

Thank you Steve. That works well.

I have one more request.

Is there a way to show the Sum of the โ€œAmountโ€ of the three records as a โ€œTotal Amountโ€ on the document template ?

  • <<SUM([Related EstimateItems][Amount)>>

Thank you very much Steve.
