Pulling Descriptive text into a concatenated calculated field

[SethStaley]

I'm trying to pull the text from descriptive text fields into a calculated field that starts with an if statement, but I can't get the text to show I can only get it if its a text field. Any suggestions on pulling descriptive text from those fields ? Below is the if statement I started with. IF({DE:GF Paid Media Type}="TikTok",CONCAT({DE:Companion Assets for TikTok Paid Media},"",{DE:TikTok Video Specs},"",{DE:Copy for TikTok Assets Paid Media}),"")

Hi @SethStaley 
By definition a "descriptive text field" is not actually a "field" - it has no value and therefore you can't reference it with {DE:asdasd} and print out the text. The descText means "put this chunk of text on the page and if there's a link, make it clickable. That's all it does.

How about you 

• add a admin-only section
  • create the field to hold the text
• in stead of a descriptive text you can place a calculated (read only) field that references the hidden field 
• in your original field you can combine the strings and values of several such calculated fields.
