Overview
This transform returns up to the first X characters of the specified string. This is useful for situations where the string may contain fewer characters than the specified length, which currently causes an error with the existing substring primitive.
Requirements
An existing value that you want only the first part of. This can be an identity attribute, an account attribute, or a value generated from another transform.
Guide
To use this transform, modify the attribute being referenced to point to the desired target (an identity attribute, an account attribute, or a value generated from other transforms), and update the $length value specified on Line 11 to reflect the desired length.
