I'm creating my first templates in Exponential. One is a dynamic menu and when I use the code:
{$:item.name}
to call the name of the item, the short name (instead of the long name of the item) is used.
How should I call the long name of the item?

The short name is a special node "name" that is set as the identifier of the node.
The long name is usually a different attribute (most commonly a text line) that has to be called as an attribute.
I usually use something like:
{$node.object.data_map.name.content|wash()}
where "name" is the name of the attribute that contains the long name.

Thanks it works!
I had to change a lot of fetches, but this way seo will be better in the template.
