Velocity Scripting Token help

Question

What am I doing wrong!?

#if ($lead.FirstName.startsWith("First") )
#set ($name = "Hello")
#else
#set($name = "Hello $display.capitalize($lead.FirstName.toLowerCase())")
#end
$name

What I am trying to do... Leads can have the name "First Name 123". I want to change that to just Hello and then otherwise normalize the names (ERIN --> Erin). I can't seem to be able to figure it out!

Any help would be amazing. I am new to coding to be gentle. haha

Thank you!

In this particular case you should use ${formal.notation} inside the output (you should only use formal in output).#set($name = "Hello ${display.capitalize($lead.FirstName.toLowerCase())}")What output are you seeing? The code looks otherwise syntactically correct. (Though I wouldn't use "name" as the variable name but rather "greeting," lest it be confusing.)

Forgot to mention that FirstName is checked on the right hand side.
