Rewriting the Output of the Display Field [#2402163]

I am not sure if this is a bug or this is how it's intended to work. What I basically wanted to do is this:

1. Add a UID selective filter
2. In the Exposed Filter Select Box I wanted to Display something like this - UserName (UID)

However, if I try to rewrite the output of the UID field to something like above by Rewriting results of the field with a replacement pattern what shows up is the following

[user_name] 10343

So, basically the filter just ignores the replacement pattern. Anyway to do what I want to do?

This is supposed to be working as the filter generation obtains the displayed values from the rendered fields.

Maybe it got broke with any of the recent updates to the module.

You can try with an older version of the module or propose a patch.

Greetings,

Okay, I just tried all the releases and it does not work with any version. Output is not rewritten with the field value in Selective Filter. Is there a quick fix possible?

Any possible fix? Sorry, I am not so proficient with coding yet or I could have helped.

Any update on this issue? I have hit the same problem with an otherwise excellent module.

Similar issue here. I'm using a location field and want to format a custom field like "Boston, MA" but can only get something like "Boston, [location:province]". I've wanted something like this for a while and it works as intended with a single field, but this adjustment would be even better.
