1.       Make description a standalone field in your subject source configuration (recommended, and you can use a virtual attribute if the actual attribute isn’t enough)

I'm not sure I understand.  Isn't it already a standalone field?  I thought that's what's causing my issue.

It sounds like I'd need to define a new "description" attribute and use the virtual attribute mechanism to put what I want in it.

 

2.       Change the config so the “description” alone is not displayed on screen, but rather whatever concatenations you want

So, add a new block to grouper-ui.properties?

grouperUi.subjectImg.sourceId.0 = pennperson

grouperUi.subjectImg.image.0 = user.png

# screen EL has "subject" as an object

grouperUi.subjectImg.screenEl.0 = ${subject.description}

In this case, is "pennperson" actually the source it's looking for in sources.xml / subjects.properties?

Would I overwrite the definition for pennperson because it's not applicable, or create a new entry using the next available number in the sequence?
