I have a content type that has a field that's a node reference. one of the fields from the referenced node is listed in the available replacement patterns section of the content type edit screen for describing the pattern for the automatic title replacement.

one field is [field_visit_date-date] --> this comes from the content type itself that i'm setting up the automatic title
another field is [field_first_name-raw] --> this comes from the referenced node content type.

both are listed under the CCK text tokens section of replacement patterns.

the resulting title for any created node is (with the appropriate date): "01-April-09 [field_first_name-raw]"

the pattern from the referenced node is not resolving to an actual value, but is simply putting in the token descriptor.

i believe that [field_first_name-raw] should resolve to "John" or "Abdul" or whatever is correct, from the referenced node.

please advise.

thank you very much,
m
