Does XLSForm support dynamic labels?

Support

Hi,

I am trying to create a label which depends on choices in a select_multiple.
I have tried the calculation approach as described by Yaw here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/opendatakit/dynamic$20label/opendatakit/k57iT-LzESg/6_1V0hF45aAJ

I am using XLSForm for this, and have placed something like this in the
label column: This person's dude status is ${dude_status}

The problem is that the label displays as "This person's dude status is
${dude_status} " without substituting the calculated value.

Does XLSForm process ${ } parameters in the label column?

Thanks,
Andrew

Update: This does work on a basic example such as the one provided. My
current form uses a more complex calculation and that might be where the
problem lies - I need to check whether the calculation is evaluating
properly.

Found my bug - posting this for anyone else who runs into this "problem":

Make sure you use curly braces ${xx} and not round braces $(xx) -
round braces will not be parsed or replaced!!!! :o)
