Well, it's not worth arguing over, there are plenty of easy workarounds.

But this should be documented. There is currently no indication anywhere that:

a) fields in save/send templates operate differently from fields in composite columns templates and plugboard templates.

b) field() and {#fieldname} do any sort of 'formatting' besides turning timestamps into dates. Actually, even that's not really documented either, just implied with the format_date() stuff.

Incidentally, (a) is really weird, because it now appears there's no way to see in advance the results of the save/send templates. I had *thought* the way to do that was to cheat and write it in a composite column, and then move the template over, but apparently, nope, that's not always what you get.
