Mailing Label shouldnt be showing excluded fields...

Since this is only making mailing labels I didn't include that functionality. Is there a compelling use case?

for me there is :)

i have fields:
- Title (Mr/Mrs/Dr/etc)
- Forename
- Surname
- Node ID
- Global Text

On the webpage Global Text is used to output "Surname, Title Forename" as a link to the node in the name column

Name
Bloggs, Mr Joe
Doe, Mr John

Which means on labels it comes out as;

Mr
Joe
Bloggs
5
Mr Joe Bloggs

Ive tried reverting to Title, Forename, Surname for labels - but even using inline table style didnt work :(

Mr
Joe
Bloggs

having the excluded fields not come out on labels would sort the issue :)

There is another issue for inline fields: http://drupal.org/node/586158

Since you are the second to bring it up I will try and focus my attention on that. Hopefully before the new year.

Can't you just remove the 'NID' field from the mailing_label display?

I can, but until exclude works id still get

Mr

Mr
Joe
Bloggs

As mentioned in reply #1 above, this was by design. For anyone with this problem, please try overriding the
default display fields in the mailing_label attachment and include only the fields you want.

If you need the fields inline try the patch at http://drupal.org/node/586158 as this does that nicely.
